BIOANALYTICAL SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1. Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation

Bioanalytical Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“We,” the "Company" or “BASi”) engage in laboratory services and other services related to pharmaceutical development. We also manufacture scientific instruments for medical research, which we sell with related software for use in industrial, governmental and academic laboratories. Our customers are located throughout the world.

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and therefore should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements, and the notes thereto, for the year ended September 30, 2006. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 include all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods and of our financial position at March 31, 2007. The results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending September 30, 2007.

All amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto are presented in thousands, except for per share data or where otherwise noted.

2. Stock Based Compensation

At March 31, 2007, we had stock-based employee and outside director compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 8 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2006. All options granted under these plans had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Effective October 1, 2005, we began expensing the estimated fair value of stock options over the vesting periods of the grants, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard 123 (Revised). Utilizing Modified Prospective Application, we expensed that portion of the estimated fair value of awards at grant date related to the outstanding options that vested during the period. The assumptions used are detailed in Note 1(f) to our financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2006. Stock based compensation expense for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2007 was $50 and $93, respectively, and compensation expense for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2006 was $71 and $139, respectively. We did not record any tax benefit related to these options.

There were no options granted in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006. The assumptions used in computing our stock based compensation expense for options granted in the six months ended March 31, 2007 were as follows:

Risk-free interest rate
   
4.65
%
Dividend yield
   
0.00
%
Volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company’s common stock
   
0.623
 
Expected life of the options (years)
   
6.9 7.7
 
 
3. Income (Loss) per Share
 
We compute basic income/(loss) per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. We compute diluted income/(loss) per share using the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding. Potential common shares include the dilutive effect of shares issuable upon exercise of options to purchase common shares. Shares issuable upon conversion of convertible subordinated debt have not been included as they were not dilutive. No shares issuable upon exercise of options or conversion of debt are included in the computation of loss per share for the six months ended March 31, 2006 as they are anti-dilutive.

5. Segment Information
 
We operate in two principal segments - research Services and research Products. Our Services segment provides research and development support on a contract basis directly to pharmaceutical companies. Our Products segment provides liquid chromatography, electrochemical and physiological monitoring products to pharmaceutical companies, universities, government research centers and medical research institutions. Our accounting policies in these segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies found in Note 1 to Consolidated Financial Statements in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2006.

6. Asset Held for Resale
 
On April 9, 2007 we sold a building and lot adjacent to our facility in West Lafayette, IN that was not being utilized in our operations, recognizing a loss on the sale of $98. The loss was recorded in our results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007. The net realizable value of the asset is shown as Asset Held for Resale in our balance sheet at March 31, 2007.
 
7. Income Taxes
 
We computed income taxes using an overall effective tax rate of 41.5% on our consolidated domestic income, which is our estimate of our combined federal and local tax rates for the current fiscal year. In the six months ended March 31, 2007 we did not provide income taxes on foreign earnings due to the availability of net operating loss carryforwards to offset our taxable income, which have not previously been recognized for financial statement purposes.

8. Stock Option Plans
 
The Company established an Employee Stock Option Plan whereby options to purchase the Company’s common shares at fair market value at date of grant can be granted to our employees. Options granted become exercisable in four equal annual installments beginning two years after the date of grant. This plan terminates in fiscal 2008.

The Company also established an Outside Director Stock Option Plan whereby options to purchase the Company’s common shares at fair market value at date of grant can be granted to outside directors. Options granted become exercisable in four equal annual installments beginning two years after the date of grant. This plan terminates in fiscal 2008.

Options in both plans expire the earlier of ten years from grant date or termination of employment.

A summary of our stock option activity and related information for the six months ended March 31, 2007 is as follows:

9. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
In February, 2007 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB’) issued FASB Statement Number 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” This statement allows the use of fair values for certain financial instruments in financial statements for years beginning after November 15, 2007. While we have not completed an evaluation of the impact of electing to use fair values for valuing these items in our financial statements, it does not appear likely that we will elect to use the fair values allowed in this statement.

GENERAL
 
The business of Bioanalytical Systems, Inc. is very much dependent on the level of pharmaceutical and biotech companies’ efforts in new drug discovery and approval. Our Services segment is the direct beneficiary of these efforts, through outsourcing of laboratory and analytical needs, and our Products segment is the indirect beneficiary, as increased drug development leads to capital expansion, providing opportunities to sell the equipment we produce and the consumable supplies we provide that support our products.
 
In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2006, we commented on the impacts and anticipated impacts developments in the pharmaceutical industry have on our businesses, as well as the material potential risks posed to our business by these industries. Those comments are still applicable, and are found under “General” in Part I, Item 2 of that report.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2006

Service and Product Revenues

Revenues for the second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2007 decreased 9% to $11.3 million compared to $12.4 million for the second quarter last year. Our Service segment revenue decreased by 13% from $10.1 million to $8.7 million compared to the comparable period last year. This was primarily the result of a decline in revenues in our bioanalytical laboratories, where revenues in the year earlier quarter were particularly strong due to a large study in that quarter that had been rescheduled from an earlier quarter. Our toxicology revenues increased $0.4 million (a 10% increase), reflecting the continued health of our toxicology operations. Revenue in our Baltimore clinic increased 4% over the comparable quarter last year, reflecting our continuing effort to cultivate new clients for these services. Sales in our Products segment increased 9.3% from $2.4 million in our second fiscal quarter last year to $2.6 million in the current quarter. Sales of our Culex automated pharmacology systems showed continued strength posting a $0.5 million increase over the same period last year. The Culex systems improvement in sales was offset by declines in our more mature products.
 
Cost of Revenues
 
Cost of revenues for the second quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $8.1 million or 72% of revenue compared to $7.5 million, or 60% of revenue for the second quarter last year. Our cost of Service revenue as a percentage of Service revenue increased from 67% in the second fiscal quarter last year to 80% in the quarter ended March 31, 2007. A substantial portion of our cost of productive capacity (personnel, facilities and laboratory equipment) is relatively fixed, resulting in a higher cost of services as a percentage of sales when compared to the same period a year ago due to the revenue decrease. The revenue decrease did not create a corresponding decrease in the costs of productive capacity. In addition, we transferred our pre-clinical services payroll related costs from our research group to cost of services. Similarly, our costs of Product revenue as a percentage of Product revenue increased from 31% to 45%. A substantial portion of products shipped in the quarter ended March 31, 2007 were manufactured in the prior quarter, with manufacturing activity lower in the current fiscal quarter. This resulted in under-absorption of manufacturing costs in the current quarter, which is included in cost of products and raises the percentage of costs compared to sales.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 decreased 1% to $673 thousand from $680 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2006. There were no significant changes in our sales efforts between the comparable quarters. Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 decreased 50% to $101 thousand from $201 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2006 as a result of $118 thousand of payroll costs related to the commercialization of our pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics services being transferred from our research group to cost of services in the current quarter.
 
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 decreased 35% to $1.9 million, down from $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The major contributors to our cost reduction were the strategic reduction in personnel in September 2006, the impairment charge taken on the Baltimore clinic in fiscal 2006 reducing our expenses in the current year, and a shift to utilization of temporary personnel in the Baltimore clinic which enables us to reduce personnel costs when the clinic is not occupied. We also recorded a loss of $98 thousand on the sale of an excess building adjacent to our main facility in West Lafayette, IN.
 
Other Income (Expense)
 
Our interest expense declined $18 thousand to $230 thousand due to lower average outstanding borrowings between the comparable quarters, in spite of higher short term rates in the current quarter. A significant amount of our borrowings are at fixed rates that did not change between the comparable quarters.
 
Income Taxes
 
We computed our tax provision for the current quarter using an overall effective tax rate of 41.5% on domestic earnings, which is our combined federal and local rate. We were able to utilize tax loss carryforwards available on our foreign earnings and therefore provided no related income tax expense.
 
11

 
Net Income (Loss)
 
As a result of the above factors, we had income of $124 thousand ($0.03 per share, both basic and diluted) in the quarter ended March 31, 2007, compared to income of $538 thousand ($0.11 per share, both basic and diluted) in the same period last year.


Six Months Ended March 31, 2007 Compared to Six Months Ended March 31, 2006

Service and Product Revenues

Revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2007 were relatively unchanged: $22.2 million as compared to $22.3 million for the six month period last year. Service revenue decreases of 2% were the result of a decline in our Baltimore clinical research unit revenues of $1.4 million due to the loss of a significant customer in our second fiscal quarter of 2006. This decrease was partially offset by increases of $0.3 million and $0.2 million in our U.K. and Oregon bioanalytical laboratories respectively, along with an increase of $0.4 million in toxicology revenues. Revenues for our Products increased 4% for the six months, due to the items cited in the current quarter.
 
Cost of Revenues
 
Cost of revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2007 was $15.6 million or 70% of revenue compared to $14.2 million, or 64% of revenue for the same period last year. Both the cost of Service revenue and the cost of Product revenue increased as a percentage of Service revenues and Product revenues, respectively, due to the items cited in the current quarter.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Selling expenses for both the six months ended March 31, 2007 and the six months ended March 31, 2006 were unchanged at $1.4 million each. Research and development expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2007 decreased 29% to $456 thousand from $639 thousand for the six months ended March 31, 2006, due to personnel previously charged to research and development now being charged to cost of services as we commercialize our pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics services, which had previously been in development.
 
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2007 decreased 39% to $3.5 million, down from $5.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2006 due to items cited in the current quarter.
 
Other Income (Expense)
 
Interest expense decreased 7% from $508 thousand to $471 thousand in the six months ended March 31, 2007 from the comparable period of the prior year as a result of reduced average outstanding borrowings.
 
Income Taxes
 
We computed our income tax using an effective tax rate of 41.5% on domestic earnings for the six months ended March 31, 2007. We did not provide income taxes on foreign earnings due to the availability of net operating loss carryforwards to offset our taxable income, which have not previously been recognized for financial statement purposes. The income tax benefit for the six months ended March 31, 2006 was computed using an effective tax rate of 42.5% on the US taxable losses, the effective benefit was reduced by an accrual for an additional $30 thousand for settlement of a disputed state tax liability.
 
Net Income (Loss)
 
As a result of the above, we had income of $680 thousand ($0.14 per share, both basic and diluted) for the first six months of the current year, compared to a net loss in the prior year of $178 thousand ($0.04 loss per share, both basic and diluted).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Comparative Cash Flow Analysis
 
Since its inception, BASi’s principal sources of cash have been cash flow generated from operations and funds received from bank borrowings and other financings. At March 31, 2007 we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.4 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $1.6 million at September 30, 2006. Approximately 26% of our cash balances were in the U.K at March 31, 2007 as compared to 60% at March 31, 2006. We monitor our U.K. cash needs to avoid currency conversion costs, which in the current interest rate environment can exceed interest.
 
Our net cash provided by operating activities was $0.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $1.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2006. This was the result of the earnings to which is added our non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization, offset by receivables balances increasing as a result of new contracts, a building held for resale, and working down the balances in customer deposits and accrued expenses. The impact on cash flow of other changes in operating assets and liabilities was not material.
 
Net cash provided by investing activities was $0.3 million in the six months ended March 31, 2007 as a result of the netting of disposals (including a building in West Lafayette) against routine equipment purchases. Additionally, we repaid $0.8 million of principal on our long-term debt and capital leases in the six months ended March 31, 2007.
 
Capital Resources
 
We have a $6.0 million revolving credit agreement with a commercial bank which extends until December 31, 2007. We may utilize up to that amount based upon our qualifying inventory and accounts receivable. We are in discussions with our bank to extend this facility beyond its expiration date.
 
We have an outstanding letter of credit securing our lease on our Baltimore facility for $1.0 million, which expires in January 2008. The letter of credit reduces our amounts available under our revolving credit facility.

We have $4.0 million of convertible subordinated debt, which becomes due on January 1, 2008. Accordingly, the entire amount is presented in current portion of long-term debt in the balance sheet at March 31, 2007. The debt is convertible at $16 per share into common stock, a conversion price that makes it unlikely to be converted before its maturity. This debt is subordinated to our bank debt, and cannot be repaid without the consent of our senior lenders. We are currently exploring options to refinance this debt, including acquiring additional mortgage debt, extending the terms of the debt, and obtaining funds by a private placement of debt or equity securities.
 
We expect our total capital additions in fiscal 2007 to be in the range of $1.0 million to $1.2 million. We expect to fund these capital expenditures from operating cash flow.
 
Liquidity
 
We do not foresee the need to borrow extensively under our revolving credit agreement to finance current operations, except for periods when rapid growth of new business may necessitate borrowing to finance the buildup of receivables and inventory.

At March 31, 2007, we had $1.4 million in cash, and approximately $4.0 million available under our revolving credit facility.

Our revolving line of credit expires December 31, 2007. The maximum amount available under the terms of the agreement is $6.0 million with outstanding borrowings limited to the borrowing base as defined in the agreement. Interest accrues monthly on the outstanding balance at the bank's prime rate to prime rate plus 50 basis points, or at the LIBOR rate plus 325 basis points, at our election. We pay a facility fee equal to 37.5 basis points on the unused portion of the line of credit. We have certain financial ratio covenants in our loan agreement, all of which were met in the quarter ended March 31, 2007.

We are required to make cash payments in the future on debt and lease obligations. The following table summarizes BASi's contractual term debt, lease obligations and other commitments at March 31, 2007 and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods (amounts presented for 2007 are those items required in the final two quarters):

For further details on our indebtedness, see Note 7 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2006.
 
The covenants in the Company's credit agreement requiring the maintenance of certain ratios of interest bearing indebtedness (not including subordinated debt) to EBITDA and net cash flow to debt servicing requirements may restrict the amount the Company can borrow to fund future operations, acquisitions and capital expenditures. Based on our current business activities, we believe cash generated from our operations and amounts available under our existing credit facilities and cash on hand, will be sufficient to fund the Company's working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future. As discussed above, in January, 2008 our subordinated notes of $4.0 million from a 2003 acquisition become due. We are exploring various alternatives to fund that obligation.
 
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

BASi’s primary market risk exposure with regard to financial instruments is changes in interest rates. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement between BASi and National City Bank dated January 4, 2005 bear interest at a rate of either the bank’s prime rate plus 50 basis points, or at the LIBOR rate plus 325, at BASi’s option. We have fixed our interest rate on our mortgage debt through May, 2007.

BASi has not used derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes. BASi estimates that a hypothetical 10% adverse change in interest rates would not affect the consolidated operating results of BASi by a material amount.

BASi operates internationally and is, therefore, subject to potentially adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. The effect of movements in the exchange rates was not material to the consolidated operating results of BASi in fiscal years 2006 and 2005. BASi estimates that a hypothetical 10% adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates would not affect the consolidated operating results of BASi by a material amount in fiscal year 2007.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Based on their most recent evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer believe that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) were effective as of March 31, 2007 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in this Form 10-Q was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.
 
There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, which was completed as of September 30, 2006.

The Corporation shall deliver or mail written notice stating the date, time, and place of any shareholders' meeting and, in the case of a special shareholders' meeting or when otherwise required by law, a description of the purposes for which the meeting is called, to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting, at such address as appears in the records of the Corporation and at least 10, but no more than 60, days before the date of the meeting. A shareholders' meeting shall be held at such place, either in or out of the State of Indiana, as may be specified by the Board of Directors in the respective notice for such meeting.
 
Section 2.4. Waiver of Notice. A shareholder may waive notice of any meeting, before or after the date and time of the meeting as stated in the notice, by delivering a signed waiver to the Corporation for inclusion in the minutes. A shareholder's attendance at any meeting, in person or by proxy (a) waives objection to lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting, unless the shareholder at the beginning of the meeting objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting, and (b) waives objection to consideration of a particular matter at the meeting that is not within the purposes described in the meeting notice, unless the shareholder objects to considering the matter when it is presented.

Section 2.6. Voting by Proxy. A shareholder may appoint a proxy to vote or otherwise act for the shareholder pursuant to a written appointment form executed by the shareholder or the shareholder's duly authorized attorney-in-fact. An appointment of a proxy is effective when received by the Secretary or other officer or agent of the Corporation authorized to tabulate votes. The general proxy of a fiduciary is given the same effect as the general proxy of any other shareholder. A proxy appointment is valid for 11 months unless otherwise expressly stated in the appointment form.

Section 2.7. Voting Lists. Following the record date for a shareholders' meeting, the Secretary shall prepare an alphabetical list of all shareholders entitled to notice of the meeting, arranged by voting group and within each voting group by class and series, and showing the address and number of shares held by each shareholder. The list shall be kept on file at the principal office of the Corporation or at a place identified in the meeting notice in the city where the meeting will be held. The list shall be available for inspection and copying by any shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting, or by the shareholder's agent or attorney authorized in writing, at any time during regular business hours, beginning 5 business days before the date of the meeting through the meeting. The list shall also be made available to any shareholder, or to the shareholder's agent or attorney authorized in writing, at the meeting and any adjournment thereof.

Section 2.8. Quorum; Approval. At any meeting of shareholders, a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on a matter by a voting group at the meeting constitutes a quorum of that voting group. If a quorum of a voting group is present when a vote is taken, action on a matter is approved by that voting group if the votes cast in favor of the action exceed the votes cast in opposition to the action, unless a greater number is required by law, the Articles of Incorporation, or these Bylaws. If more than one voting group is entitled to vote on a matter, approval by each voting group is required for the matter to be approved by the shareholders as a whole.
