DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Inotiv, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“We,” “Our,” “Us,” the “Company,” and “Inotiv”) comprise a leading contract research organization specializing in nonclinical and analytical drug discovery and development services. The Company also manufactures scientific instruments for life sciences research, which it sells with related software for use by pharmaceutical companies, universities, government research centers and medical research institutions. The Company’s customers are located throughout the world. On March 18, 2021, the Company filed Articles of Amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and amended its Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended, to reflect a corporate name change from Bioanalytical Systems, Inc. to Inotiv, Inc. The Company has 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 the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 include all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods and of the Company’s financial position at June 30, 2021. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 may not be indicative of the results for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2021. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods in the unaudited condensed consolidated and combined financial statements and accompanying notes to conform with current presentation. Costs related to the development and initiation of new service offerings that are not revenue generating at this time are shown on a new line in the condensed consolidated statements of operations identified as Startup costs. These expenses include, but are not limited to, employee compensation expenses, travel expenses, relocation fees, and recruiting expenses. While certain of these costs are one-time in nature, there are certain costs (e.g. employee compensation expenses) that will be expected to recur once the new offerings are revenue generating at which time the related costs will be reclassified on the consolidated statements of operations. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.
