NOVATO, Calif., Aug. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Hennessy Advisors, Inc. (OTCBB:HNNA) the Board of Directors of Hennessy Advisors, Inc. today declared a quarterly dividend of $0.03125 per share to be paid on September 5, 2012 to shareholders of record as of August 20, 2012. The company also announced fully diluted earnings per share of $0.05 for the third quarter, which ended June 30, 2012.

"I am very encouraged that Hennessy Advisors continued to turn a profit during our third fiscal quarter.

"I am more convinced than ever that our economy is in a slow but steady recovery. I know there are hurdles for every US Company to work through, and I recognize the volatility of our global economy, but the underlying fundamentals of the companies that drive our US economy are much stronger today than they were during the financial crisis. We remain committed to building shareholder value," added Mr. Hennessy.
