NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

(1)    DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

Bioanalytical Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“BASi”) engage in laboratory services, consulting and research related to analytical chemistry and chemical instrumentation. BASi also manufactures and markets scientific instruments for use in the determination of trace amounts of organic compounds in biological, environmental and industrial materials. BASi also sells its equipment and software for use in industrial, government and academic laboratories. BASi customers are located throughout the world.

(2)    INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared by BASi 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 for complete financial statements, and therefore these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, and the notes thereto, for the year ended September 30, 2002. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 include all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods. The results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending September 30, 2003.

(3)    ACQUISITION

On December 13, 2002, BASi acquired LC Resources, Inc. (“LCR”), a privately-held company based in Walnut Creek, California. BASi purchased all of the outstanding shares of LCR for $2,500,000, subject to adjustment for certain changes in net tangible assets of LCR. Based on BASi’s preliminary review of LCR’s net tangible assets, the purchase price has been adjusted to approximately $2,100,000. BASi paid cash of $176,000, including acquisition costs, at closing with the remainder of the purchase price to be paid through promissory notes (subordinate to BASi’s senior bank debt), bearing interest at 10% per annum, and maturing on October 1, 2007. The holders of the notes will have the option to require BASi to repay up to 20% of the outstanding principal balance of the notes on each October 1 prior to maturity, commencing October 1, 2003.

The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations.” The preliminary purchase price has been allocated to the estimated fair values of net assets acquired based on management’s estimate. The purchase price is subject to change pending final agreement between the parties; the estimated fair values are subject to change pending the completion of management’s analysis. The excess preliminary purchase price has been allocated to goodwill in the amount of $1,351,000 and the results of operations of LCR have been included with those of BASi since the date of the acquisition. BASi has not prepared pro forma results as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of each period presented, because such historical accounting information is not available.

BASi pays a fee equal to 25 to 50 basis points, depending on certain financial ratios, on the unused portion of the line of credit.

BASi has a $5,410,000 commercial mortgage with a bank. The mortgage note requires 119 monthly principal payments of $22,542, plus interest, followed by a final payment for the unpaid principal amount of $2,727,502 due November 1, 2012.

(7)    NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations” and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (“FAS 142”), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The BASi goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired in several business acquisitions. Under the new rules, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized, but will be subject to annual impairment reviews. BASi adopted FAS 142 as of October 1, 2002, and therefore has not recorded any goodwill amortization in the first quarter of 2003. Prior to 2002, BASi amortized goodwill on a straight-line basis over 17 years. BASi recorded goodwill amortization expense of $15,000 in the first quarter of 2002.

As required upon adoption of FAS 142, BASi is currently performing transitional impairment reviews of its goodwill. BASi has not completed these initial impairment tests, therefore management has yet to determine the effect of adoption. As required by FAS 142, BASi will complete the transitional goodwill impairment test by March 31, 2003.

BASi adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", effective October 1, 2002. SFAS No. 144 supercedes FASB Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" and also supercedes the accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting Principals Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions", for segments of a business to be disposed of. Adoption of SFAS No. 144 had no impact on BASi.

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13 and Technical Corrections". SFAS No. 145 rescinds both SFAS No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt", and an amendment to that Statement, SFAS No. 64, "Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking Fund Requirements". SFAS No. 4 required that all gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt be aggregated and, if material, be classified as an extraordinary item, net of the related income tax effect. Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 145, all gains and losses on the extinguishment of debt for periods presented in the financial statements will be classified as extraordinary items only if they meet the criteria in APB No. 30. The provisions of SFAS No. 145 related to the rescission of SFAS No. 4 and SFAS No. 64 shall be applied for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. BASi does not believe, based on current circumstances, the effect of adoption of SFAS No. 145 will be material.




–  8  –

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". SFAS No. 146 nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)". SFAS No. 146 generally requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan and is to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. BASi has not commenced such activities as of December 31, 2002.

On December 31, 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure". SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", to provide alternative methods of transition to SFAS No. 123's fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. SFAS No. 148 also amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 and APB Opinion No. 28, "Interim Financial Reporting", to require disclosure in the summary of significant accounting policies of the effects of an entity's accounting policy with respect to stock-based employee compensation on reported net income and earnings per share in annual and interim financial statements. While SFAS No. 148 does not amend SFAS No. 123 to require companies to account for employee stock options using the fair value method, the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 are applicable to all companies with stock-based employee compensation, regardless of whether they account for that compensation using the fair value method of SFAS No. 123 or the intrinsic value method of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". SFAS No. 148's amendment of the transition and annual disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. SFAS No. 148's amendment of the disclosure requirements of APB Opinion No. 28 is effective for financial reports containing consolidated financial statements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended December 31, 2002 Compared With Three Months Ended December 31, 2001
Total revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2002 increased 15.8% to $6,974,000 from $6,023,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2001. The net increase of $951,000 was primarily due to service revenue which increased to $4,532,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2002 from $3,569,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2001, primarily as a result of increased contract activity in the bioanalytical services group.

Total cost of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2002 increased 23.7% to $4,289,000 from $3,467,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2001. This increase of $822,000 was primarily due to increased costs of service revenue related to the additional contract services provided by the bioanalytical services group. Costs of service revenue decreased to 71.8% as a percentage of services revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2002 from 73.4% of service revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2001, primarily due to increased revenue from bioanalytical services. Cost of product revenue increased to 42.3% as a percentage of product revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2002 from 34.5% of product revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2001, primarily due to a change in product mix.




–  9  –

Selling expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2002 decreased 2.6% to $758,000 from $778,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2001 primarily due to a decrease in foreign jobbers commission. Research and development expenses, which are net of grant reimbursements, for the three months ended December 31, 2002 increased 13.9% to $368,000, up from $323,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2001. The increase of $45,000 is primarily due to a decrease in grant reimbursements, which were $32,000 and $103,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2002 increased 7.1% to $1,090,000, up from $1,018,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2001, primarily as a result of an increase in both staffing costs and the number of employees on staff. As a result of the foregoing, total operating expenses increased $97,000 or 5.0% to $2,216,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2002, up from $2,119,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2001.

Other expense, net, was $43,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2002, as compared to $25,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2001, primarily as a result of increased interest expense due to the increase in debt.

BASi’s effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2002 was 35.4% compared to 40.0% for the three months ended December 31, 2001. This decrease was primarily due to the utilization of foreign net operating losses.

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 December 31, 2002, BASi had cash and cash equivalents of $1,612,000, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $826,000 at September 30, 2002. The increase in cash resulted primarily from increased borrowings.

BASi’s net cash used by operating activities was $478,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2002. Cash used by operations during the three months ended December 31, 2002 consisted of net income of $275,000, non-cash charges of $583,000 and a net decrease of $1,336,000 in operating assets and liabilities. The most significant items affecting the changes in operating assets and liabilities were an increase in accounts receivable of $551,000 and a decrease in accounts payable of $418,000.

Cash used by investing activities increased to $2,335,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2002 from $294,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2001, primarily due to capital expenditures for construction projects in Evansville and West Lafayette, Indiana, the acquisition of LC Resources, Inc., and loans to PharmaKinetics Laboratories, Inc. Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2002 was $3,598,000, due to additional borrowings on the line of credit and increased long-term debt.

Capital Resources
Total expenditures by BASi for property and equipment were $2,571,000 and $294,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Expenditures made in connection with the expansion of BASi’s operating facilities in West Lafayette and Evansville, Indiana and in the United Kingdom and purchases of laboratory equipment account for the largest portions of these expenditures in each period, with the increase due to increased expenditures for facility expansion. The capital investments relate to the purchase of additional laboratory equipment corresponding to anticipated increases in research services to be provided by BASi. BASi expects to make other investments to expand its operations through internal growth and strategic acquisitions, alliances and joint ventures.




–  10  –

During 2001, BASi commenced construction to expand its preclinical facilities in Evansville, Indiana. Construction of these preclinical facilities is expected to be completed by the end of February, 2003, at a total cost of $3,500,000. During 2002, BASi began expanding its facilities in West Lafayette, Indiana. Construction on the West Lafayette facilities is expected to have a total cost of $4,000,000. BASi obtained bank financing for each of these construction projects.

On December 13, 2002, BASi acquired LC Resources, Inc. (“LCR”), a privately-held company based in Walnut Creek, California. BASi purchased all of the outstanding shares of LCR for $2,500,000, subject to adjustment for certain changes in net tangible assets of LCR. BASi is currently evaluating the changes in net tangible assets. BASi paid cash of $125,000 at closing, and the remainder of the purchase price will be paid through promissory notes issued by BASi, bearing interest at 10% per annum, and maturing on October 1, 2007. The holders of the notes will have the option to require BASi to repay up to 20% of the outstanding principal balance of the notes on each October 1 prior to maturity, commencing October 1, 2003. These notes are subordinated to senior bank debt.

On June 20, 2002, BASi and PharmaKinetics Laboratories, Inc. (“PKLB”) entered into a merger agreement that will result in PKLB becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of BASi. In connection with the merger, BASi will issue 6% Subordinated Convertible Notes in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $4,000,000 to the holders of PKLB Class A Preferred shares. No principal payments will be due on these notes until 2008. No interest will be paid on the notes for one year after the date of issuance. The notes are convertible into BASi common shares at the option of the holder at any time after the first anniversary of the date of issuance at a price of $16.00 per share.

Between June and December, 2002, BASi loaned PKLB a total of $783,000 for working capital purposes. On November 14, 2002, PKLB executed a Secured Convertible Revolving Note in the principal amount of up to $925,000 payable to BASi to replace the existing notes payable to BASi and to allow PKLB to borrow additional amounts to cover short-term operating requirements. The note issued to BASi carries an annual interest rate of 8%, and all principal and accrued interest is due and payable on May 1, 2003. The outstanding principal amount of the note to BASi is convertible by BASi at any time into PKLB common stock at a price of $0.1585 per common share, which price represents the average of the closing prices for PKLB’s common shares as reported by NASDAQ for the twenty (20) trading days ended November 8, 2002. All PKLB common shares held by BASi as of the effective time of the merger will be cancelled. The note to BASi is secured by a security interest in favor of BASi in all of the assets of PKLB pursuant to a Security Agreement between PKLB, as debtor, and BASi, as secured party. PKLB Limited Partnership, a subsidiary of PKLB, guaranteed repayment of the note to BASi, pursuant to the terms of an Unconditional Guaranty dated as of November 14, 2002, and pledged certain real property located in Baltimore, Maryland to BASi as security for its guaranty pursuant to the terms of an Indemnity Deed of Trust.

One of BASi’s credit agreements (discussed below) limits the amount that can be loaned to PKLB prior to the closing of the merger to the amount of the Secured Convertible Revolving Note. If the merger is consummated, BASi expects to expend additional amounts to pay trade payables and other obligations of PKLB and to fund PKLB’s continuing operations. BASi intends to fund these expenses using cash from operations and borrowings under the line of credit. BASi’s credit agreement also requires BASi to sell the Baltimore, Maryland real property within 180 days following its acquisition of PKLB. BASi intends to use the net proceeds from the sale to pay down the line of credit. BASi management believes that the sale of the building will enable it to fund PKLB operations until such time as the cash flow generated from those operations becomes adequate to support the operations.

On October 29, 2002, BASi obtained new credit agreements with two different banks that completely refinanced and replaced all outstanding bank debt arrangements that were in place at September 30, 2002. These new credit agreements provide for a $6,000,000 revolving line of credit with a bank and a mortgage note and two construction term loans payable with another bank aggregating $10,000,000. Borrowings under these new credit agreements are collateralized by substantially all assets related to BASi’s operations, all common stock of BASi’s United States subsidiaries and 65% of the common stock of its non-United States subsidiaries, and the assignment of a life insurance policy on BASi’s Chairman and CEO. Under the terms of these credit agreements, BASi has agreed to restrict advances to foreign subsidiaries, limit additional indebtedness and capital expenditures as well as to comply with certain financial covenants outlined in the borrowing agreements. These financial covenants include: maintenance of a certain ratio of interest bearing indebtedness (not including subordinated debt) to earnings before income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and interest expense (“EBITDA”); maintenance of a certain ratio of total indebtedness to tangible net worth and subordinated debt; maintenance of a certain ratio of EBITDA to certain identified fixed charges; maintenance of a certain ratio of current assets to current liabilities; limits on the amount of capital expenditures that can be made using funds other than long-term indebtedness in a single fiscal year; and maintenance of a certain ratio of net cash flow to debt servicing requirements. These new credit agreements contain cross-default provisions. Details of each debt issue are discussed below.




–  11  –

BASi’s revolving line of credit expires September 30, 2005. The maximum amount available under the terms of the agreement is $6,000,000 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 125 basis points, or at the Eurodollar rate plus 200 to 350 basis points, as elected by BASi, depending upon the ratio of BASi’s interest bearing indebtedness (less subordinated debt) to EBITDA. BASi pays a fee equal to 25 to 50 basis points, depending upon the same financial ratio, on the unused portion of the line of credit.

BASi has a $5,410,000 commercial mortgage with a bank. The mortgage note requires 119 monthly principal payments of $22,542 plus interest, followed by a final payment for the unpaid principal amount of $2,727,502 due November 1, 2012. Interest is charged at the prime rate. BASi has a $2,250,000 construction loan with the same bank, which expires November 1, 2012. The loan requires interest payments only until completion of the project in West Lafayette, Indiana. Interest is charged at the prime rate. BASi also has another construction loan for $2,340,000 with the same bank, which expires May 1, 2008. This loan also requires interest payments only until completion of the project in Evansville, Indiana and interest is also charged at the prime rate. On November 15, 2002, BASi obtained a $1,500,000 lease line for equipment with a bank. At December 31, 2002, $1,090,000 was utilized under the terms of operating leases requiring 60 payments of $17,820.

To obtain the foregoing new credit agreements, BASi entered into an agreement with Periculum Capital Company, LLC (“Periculum”). Under the terms of the agreement, BASi paid $300,000 in fees to Periculum upon closing of the refinancing.

Liquidity
BASi is required to make cash payments in the future on debt and lease obligations. The following table summarizes BASi’s contractual term debt and lease obligations at December 31, 2002 (reflective of the issuance of notes payable to acquire LCR) and the effect such obligations are expected to have on its liquidity and cash flows in future periods (amounts in thousands).

                                    Payments due for fiscal years ending September 30:
                                     2003     2004-2005    2006-2007    After 2007     Total

                                    $ 861      $ 1,056       $ 984        $ 5,846     $ 8,747

BASi’s borrowings under its revolving line of credit for working capital needs, borrowings to fund capital expenditures using construction loans and the 6% subordinated notes payable that may be issued in connection with the merger with PKLB will each affect BASi’s liquidity and cash flows in future periods. These obligations are not reflected in the above schedule. The covenants in BASi’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 BASi can borrow to fund future operations, acquisitions and capital expenditures.

During the first quarter, BASi borrowed additional funds to continue construction on its West Lafayette expansion project. In order to better assure compliance with the covenants in the credit agreement, construction on this project has been delayed and management does not expect to make significant borrowings in connection with this project until cash flow improves. BASi has formulated and begun to implement a plan to reduce debt and improve its cash flow to better enable it to satisfy the credit agreement covenants in the future. The plan includes, but is not limited to, headcount reductions and other cost-saving measures at its West Lafayette and McMinville, Oregon facilities, the sale of real estate assets in West Lafayette, and the delay of construction of its West Lafayette expansion project. Further, BASi believes compliance with loan covenants will be achieved and will take necessary action, including deferral of the PKLB acquisition, if deemed necessary, to remain compliant.

BASi intends to issue additional subordinated debt of approximately $4,000,000 in connection with the contemplated acquisition of PKLB. This indebtedness will not require any payments of principal or interest by BASi during the first year after it is issued, and will not affect BASi’s compliance with the leverage covenant in its credit agreement. However, as discussed above, BASi will use cash from operations and amounts available under its credit agreement to pay trade payables and other obligations of PKLB and to fund PKLB’s future operations. To offset these requirements, BASi intends to sell a building owned by PKLB, located in Baltimore, Maryland and to apply the net proceeds from the sale to reduce amounts outstanding under the credit agreement.




–  12  –

Based on its current business activities, BASi believes cash generated from its operations, amounts available under its existing bank line of credit and credit facility, and the proposed action plan will be sufficient to fund BASi’s short and long-term working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future and through September 30, 2003.

New Accounting Pronoucements
Please refer to the Notes of Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of recently issued accounting standards.

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. The credit agreement between BASi and The Provident Bank dated October 29, 2002 bears interest at a rate of either the bank’s prime rate plus 0 to 125 basis points, or at Eurodollar rate plus 200 to 350 basis points, depending in each case upon the ratio of BASi’s interest-bearing indebtedness (less subordinated debt) to EBITDA, at BASI’s option. BASi also has construction loans and a commercial mortgage which bear interest at the prime rate. Historically, 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 rates change. The effect of movements in the exchange rates was not material to the consolidated operating results of BASi in fiscal years 2002 and 2001. 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.

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Based on their most recent evaluation, which was completed within 90 days of the filing of this Form 10-Q, BASi’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer believe BASi’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) are effective in timely alerting BASi’s management to material information required to be included in this Form 10-Q and other Exchange Act filings. There were no significant changes in BASi’s internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, and there were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses which required corrective actions.
