DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Bioanalytical Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("We," the "Company" or "BASi") engage in contract laboratory research services and other services related to pharmaceutical development. We also manufacture scientific instruments for life sciences 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, included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2013. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 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, 2014. The results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending September 30, 2014.
