NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts in thousands unless otherwise indicated)

(Unaudited)

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 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 fiscal year ended September 30, 2009. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods and of our financial position at June 30, 2010. Certain items previously reported in specific condensed consolidated financial statement captions have been reclassified to conform to the 2010 presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net loss for the period previously reported. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending September 30, 2010.

2.	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

At June 30, 2010, we had the 2008 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), used to promote our long-term interests by providing a means of attracting and retaining officers, directors and key employees and aligning their interests with those of our shareholders. The Plan is described more fully in Note 9 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009. All options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common shares on the date of grant. We expense the estimated fair value of stock options over the vesting periods of the grants. Our policy is to recognize expense for awards subject to graded vesting using the straight-line attribution method. The assumptions used are detailed in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009. During the first nine months of fiscal 2010, we granted 240 options to employees. Stock based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010 was $47 and $174 with no tax benefits. Stock based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009 was $147 and $456 with no tax benefits. As of June 30, 2010, our total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options was $387.

The weighted-average assumptions used to compute the fair value of options granted for the current fiscal year were as follows:

	2010
Risk-free interest rate		3.194% - 3.474	%
Dividend yield		0.00	%
Volatility of the expected market price of the Company’s common stock		93.00% - 96.00	%
Expected life of the options (years)		8.0

[Remainder of page intentionally left blank.]

A summary of our stock option activity for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 is as follows (in thousands, except for share prices):

	Options (shares)			Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value

Outstanding - October 1, 2009		620		$	5.97	$	3.36
Exercised		-		$	-	$	-
Granted		240		$	1.14	$	0.96
Terminated		(347	)	$	3.92	$	2.22
Outstanding - June 30, 2010		513		$	3.28	$	2.19

3.	INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

We compute basic net income (loss) per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. We compute diluted net 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 exercise of options were excluded from the computation of net income (loss) per share for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 as they are anti-dilutive. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, shares issuable upon exercise of options were immaterial to the computation of net income (loss) per share.

The following table reconciles our computation of basic income (loss) per share to diluted income (loss) per share:

	Three Months Ended June 30,					Nine Months Ended June 30,
	2010		2009			2010			2009

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 2 to Consolidated Financial Statements in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009.

	Three Months Ended June 30,					Nine Months Ended June 30,

Product		331		112			351			(606	)
	$	558	$	(571	)	$	(1,969	)	$	(4,344	)

6.	INCOME TAXES

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We recognize the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We record valuation allowances based on a determination of the expected realization of tax assets.

We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position. We measure the amount of the accrual for which an exposure exists as the largest amount of benefit determined on a cumulative probability basis that we believe is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement of the position.

We record interest and penalties accrued in relation to uncertain income tax positions as a component of income tax expense. Any changes in the accrued liability for uncertain tax positions would impact our effective tax rate. Over the next twelve months we do not anticipate resolution to the carrying value of our reserve. Interest and penalties are included in the reserve.

As of June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, we had a $29 and $473 liability for uncertain income tax positions, respectively.

We file income tax returns in the U.S., several U.S. states, and the foreign jurisdiction of the United Kingdom. We remain subject to examination by taxing authorities in the jurisdictions in which we have filed returns for years after 2005.

In April 2010, we settled state tax litigation relating to our fiscal tax years 2003 through 2006 by agreeing to pay $35 and foregoing a refund claim for $64. Because we had previously recorded a $443 liability for this uncertain tax position, we recognized a net tax benefit of $344 in the three months ended March 31, 2010.

We have an accumulated net deficit in our UK subsidiaries. Consequently, United States deferred tax assets on such earnings have not been recorded. Also, a valuation allowance was established in fiscal 2009 against the US deferred income tax balance. We had previously recorded a valuation allowance on the UK subsidiary deferred income tax balance.

DEBT

Mortgages and note payable

We have four loans with Regions Bank secured by our real estate in West Lafayette and Evansville, Indiana. One of these loans, with a current principal outstanding of $1,125, matures in December 2010 and another loan, with a principal outstanding of $1,383, matures in February 2011. Accordingly, these amounts are included in Current Portion of Long Term Debt on the accompanying balance sheet at June 30, 2010. Interest on these loans is equal to LIBOR plus 215 basis points. We entered into interest rate swap agreements with notional values of $2,600 with respect to these loans to fix the interest rate at 6.1%. We entered into these derivative transactions to hedge the interest rate risk of this debt obligation and not to speculate on interest rates. The fair value of the swaps was determined with a level two analysis. These swaps had a negative fair value of $49 at June 30, 2010 and $103 at September 30, 2009. A gain of $54 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 was recorded in our condensed consolidated financial statements as a decrease to interest expense and long term liability. There was a loss of $110 recorded as an increase to interest expense and long term liability for the nine months ended June 30, 2009. The terms of the interest rate swaps match the scheduled principal outstanding under the loans. We do not intend to prepay the loans, and expect the swaps to expire under their terms without payment by us. Upon expiration of the swaps, the net fair value recorded in the consolidated financial statements is expected to be zero. Two other mortgage loans with Regions totaling $5,816 mature in November 2012.

The covenants in our loan agreements with Regions require us to maintain certain ratios including a fixed charge coverage ratio and total liabilities to tangible net worth ratio. The Regions loans contain both cross-default provisions with each other and with the revolving line of credit with Entrepreneur Growth Capital LLC (“EGC”) described below. At June 30, 2010, we were not in compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio and debt to tangible net equity covenants. On August 9, 2010, Regions waived our non-compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio and debt to tangible net worth covenants.

Revolving Line of Credit

On January 13, 2010, we entered into a new $3,000 revolving line of credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with Entrepreneur Growth Capital LLC (“EGC”), for working capital and other purposes. On January 18, 2010, we used this facility to repay our prior line of credit with PNC bank. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by a blanket lien on our personal property, including certain eligible accounts receivable, inventory, and intellectual property assets, and a second mortgage on our West Lafayette and Evansville real estate. Borrowings are calculated based on 75% of eligible accounts receivable. The initial term of the Credit Agreement terminates January 31, 2011 but is renewable upon mutual agreement of the parties. If we prepay prior to the expiration of the initial term (or any renewal term), we are subject to an early termination fee equal to the minimum interest charges of $15 for each of the months remaining until expiration.

Borrowings bear interest at an annual rate equal to Prime Rate plus five percent (5%) with minimum monthly interest of $15. Interest is paid monthly. The line of credit also carries an annual facilities fee of 2% and a 0.2% collateral monitoring fee.

The covenants in the Credit Agreement require that we maintain a minimum tangible net worth of $9,500. At March 31, 2010, we were not in compliance with this covenant. EGC subsequently waived this requirement and permanently reset the tangible net worth covenant for future periods to $9,000. At June 30, 2010, we were in compliance with the modified covenant. The Credit Agreement also contains cross-default provisions with the Regions loans and any future EGC loans.

8. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the past two fiscal years, we have experienced operating losses due primarily to a decline in business during the economic recession. Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,767 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $1,216 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in cash provided by operating activities in the current fiscal year partially results from a decrease in our operating loss. Another significant contributing factor to our cash from operations was an increase in customer advances of $1,333 as we booked additional new business. In January 2010, we completed a reduction in work force, through both attrition and terminations. This reduction impacted all areas of operations and was expected to reduce our annual compensation expense by approximately 10%.

Our investing activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2010 have been restricted to emergency capital additions. We conducted a sale and leaseback of some of our unencumbered laboratory equipment which netted us $431 of cash, while expending $216 on capital expenditures. In the coming twelve months, we intend to increase capital expenditures, particularly for laboratory equipment, when financing becomes available to fund our purchases.

Currently, we have $2,508 of existing bank debt maturing in the next twelve months that we either must either reach agreement with Regions to extend, or find alternative sources of funding to repay the debt. Regions has indicated that its expectations are that the loans will be repaid at maturity.

We are actively pursuing opportunities with other lenders and with equity investors to procure the necessary funding to replace or retire this debt; however, there are no assurances that the funding will be available or available on terms that would be acceptable to us. Obtaining this funding is dependent on continued improvement in our operating results and favorable conditions in the capital markets. Failure to renew or replace the debt would have material adverse effects on our operations.

9. SETTLEMENT OF CONTINGENT LIABILITY

In June of 2008 as part of selling our Baltimore Clinical Pharmacology Research Unit, we subleased the building space it occupied to the purchaser of the assets. We remained contingently liable for the rent payments of $800 per year through 2015 in the event the sublessor did not perform. In 2009, the purchaser ceased operations in Baltimore and sought to renegotiate the terms of its sublease. In March of 2010, a settlement was reached with the landlord of the building which canceled the sublessor’s and our obligations under the lease in exchange for a cash payment from the sublessor. We agreed to contribute $250 to the settlement, payable in twenty-five monthly installments of $10 without interest. We recorded the discounted liability of $216 in March 2010 and recognized the related expense in general and administrative expenses.

10. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventories, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable and other accruals approximate their fair values because of their nature and respective duration. The fair values of the revolving credit facility and long-term debt are equal to their carrying values due to the variable nature of their interest rates.

11. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In October 2009, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update on the accounting for revenue recognition to specifically address how to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting. This guidance is applicable to revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified during our next fiscal year that begins October 1, 2010. The guidance may be applied either prospectively from the beginning of the fiscal year for new or materially modified arrangements or retrospectively. We are currently reviewing this authoritative guidance to determine the potential impact, if any, that it may have on our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Form 10-Q may contain "forward-looking statements," within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and/or Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Those statements may include, but are not limited to, discussions regarding our intent, belief or current expectations with respect to (i) our strategic plans; (ii) our future profitability, liquidity and capital resources; (iii) our capital requirements; (iv) industry trends affecting our financial condition or results of operations; (v) our sales or marketing plans; (vi) our growth strategy; or (vii) our ability to refinance our existing debt. Investors in our common shares are cautioned that reliance on any forward-looking statement involves risks and uncertainties, including the risk factors contained in Part II, Item 1A of the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 and in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009. Although we believe that the assumptions are reasonable on which the forward-looking statements contained herein are based, any of those assumptions could fail to project actual events and, as a result, the forward-looking statements based upon those assumptions could prove to be significantly different from actual results. In light of the uncertainties inherent in any forward-looking statement, the inclusion of a forward-looking statement herein should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. We do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively, provided elsewhere in this report.

Amounts are in thousands, unless otherwise indicated.

General

The Company provides contract drug development services and research equipment to many leading global pharmaceutical, medical research and biotechnology companies and institutions. We offer an efficient, variable-cost alternative to our clients' internal product development programs. Outsourcing development work to reduce overhead and speed drug approvals through the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") is an established alternative to in-house development among pharmaceutical companies. We derive our revenues from sales of our research services and drug development tools, both of which are focused on determining drug safety and efficacy. Since its formation in 1974, the Company’s products and services have been utilized in the research of drugs to treat central nervous system disorders, diabetes, osteoporosis and other diseases.

We support the preclinical and clinical development needs of researchers and clinicians for small molecule and large biomolecule drug candidates. We believe our scientists have the skills in analytical instrumentation development, chemistry, computer software development, physiology, medicine, analytical chemistry and toxicology to make the services and products we provide increasingly valuable to our current and potential clients. Our principal clients are scientists engaged in analytical chemistry, drug safety evaluation, clinical trials, drug metabolism studies, pharmacokinetics and basic neuroscience research at many of the largest global pharmaceutical companies.

Our business is largely dependent on the level of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies' efforts in new drug discovery and approval. Our services segment is the direct beneficiary of these efforts, through outsourcing by these companies of research work. 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.

Developments within the industries we serve have a direct, and sometimes material, impact on our operations. Currently, many large pharmaceutical companies have major "block-buster" drugs that are nearing the end of their patent protections. This puts significant pressure on these companies both to develop new drugs with large market appeal, and to re-evaluate their cost structures and the time-to-market of their products. Contract research organizations ("CRO's") have benefited from these developments, as the pharmaceutical industry has turned to out-sourcing to both reduce fixed costs and to increase the speed of research and data development necessary for new drug applications. The number of significant drugs that have reached or are nearing the end of their patent protection has also benefited the generic drug industry. Generic drug companies provide a significant source of new business for CRO's as they develop, test and manufacture their generic compounds.

A significant portion of innovation in the pharmaceutical industry is now being driven by biotech and small, venture capital funded, drug development companies. Many of these companies are "single-molecule" entities, whose success depends on one innovative compound. While several of the biotech companies have reached the status of major pharmaceuticals, the industry is still characterized by smaller entities. These developmental companies generally do not have the resources to perform much of the research within their organizations, and are therefore dependent on the CRO industry for both their research and for guidance in preparing their FDA submissions. These companies have provided significant new opportunities for us and the CRO industry. They do, however, provide challenges in selling, as they frequently have only one product in development, which causes CRO's to be unable to develop a flow of projects from a single company. These companies may expend all their available funds and cease operations prior to fully developing a product. Additionally, the funding of these companies is subject to investment market fluctuations, which varies with changes to the risk profile and appetite of investors.

Research services are capital intensive. The investment in equipment and facilities to serve our markets is substantial and continuing. While our physical facilities are adequate to meet market needs for the near term, rapid changes in automation, precision, speed and technologies necessitate a constant investment in equipment and software to meet market demands. We are also impacted by the heightened regulatory environment and the need to improve our business infrastructure to support our increasingly diverse operations, which will necessitate additional capital investment. Our ability to generate capital to reinvest in our capabilities, both through operations and financial transactions, is critical to our success. While we are currently committed to fully utilizing recent additions to capacity and have instituted a freeze on capital expenditures, sustained growth will require additional investment in future periods. Our financial position could limit our ability to make such investments.

Our primary market, the CRO market, is experiencing serious economic pressures. Since the end of our 2008 fiscal year, pharmaceutical development companies have delayed the initiation of CRO studies and reduced their total spending for CRO services. We believe these actions are largely in response to the global economic recession and related financial crisis. The delays and reductions in spending by our customers resulted in a significant negative impact on our revenues for the current and prior fiscal years. However, the number of new studies initiated by our customers began to increase during our third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2009 and continued through the end of the third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2010, although prices have not rebounded to pre-recession levels resulting in revenue decreases for similar work. Our basic operating costs have remained stable as a result of the sluggish demand in the market. The aggregate revenue from new studies along with cost reductions allowed us to achieve profitable operations in the current quarter for the first time since the quarter ended June 30, 2007.

Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act

In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “Act”) was enacted by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by the President. The purpose of the legislation is to extend medical insurance coverage to a higher percentage of U.S. citizens. Many of the provisions in the Act have delayed effective dates over the next decade, and will require extensive regulatory guidance. Companies in our principal client industry, pharmaceuticals, will be required under the Act to provide additional discounts on medicines provided under Medicare and Medicaid to assist in the funding of the program; however, government estimates are that over 31 million additional citizens will eventually be covered by medical insurance as a result of the Act, which should expand the markets for their products. It is premature to accurately predict the impacts these and other competing forces will have on our basic client market, drug development. Additionally, the Act does not directly impact spiraling health care costs in the U.S., which could lead to additional legislation impacting our target markets in the future.

We maintain an optional health benefits package for all of our full-time employees, which is largely paid by our contributions with employees paying a portion of the cost, generally less than 20% of the total. Based on our current understanding of the Act, we do not anticipate significant changes to our programs or of their costs to the Company or our employees as a result of the Act.

We have experienced increases in the costs of our health benefit programs in excess of inflation rates, and expect those trends to continue. We are exploring options in plan funding, delivery of benefits and employee wellness in our continuing effort to obtain maximum benefit for our health care expenditures, while maintaining quality programs for our employees. We do not expect these efforts to have a material financial impact on the Company.

Critical Accounting Policies

"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Liquidity and Capital Resources" discuss the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Preparation of these financial statements requires management to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Certain significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the financial statements require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments, and are considered critical accounting policies. We have identified the following areas as critical accounting policies.

Revenue Recognition

The majority of our service contracts involve the processing of bioanalytical samples for pharmaceutical companies. These contracts generally provide for a fixed fee for each assay method developed or sample processed and revenue is recognized under the specific performance method of accounting. Under the specific performance method, revenue and related direct costs are recognized when services are performed. Other service contracts generally consist of preclinical studies for pharmaceutical companies. Service revenue is recognized based on the ratio of direct costs incurred to total estimated direct costs under the proportional performance method of accounting. Revisions in profit estimates are reflected on a cumulative basis in the period in which such revisions become known. The establishment of contract prices and total contract costs involves estimates made by the Company at the inception of the contract period. These estimates could change during the term of the contract which could impact the revenue and costs reported in the consolidated financial statements. Projected losses on contracts are provided for in their entirety when known. Revisions to estimates have not been material. Service contract fees received upon acceptance are deferred and classified within customer advances, until earned. Unbilled revenues represent revenues earned under contracts in advance of billings.

Product revenue from sales of equipment not requiring installation, testing or training is recognized upon shipment to customers. One product includes internally developed software and requires installation, testing and training, which occur concurrently. Revenue from these sales is recognized upon completion of the installation, testing and training when the services are bundled with the equipment sale.

Long-Lived Assets, Including Goodwill

Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment, and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired, using a two-step process. In the first step, we compare the fair value of each reporting unit, as computed primarily by present value cash flow calculations, to its book carrying value, including goodwill. We do not believe that market value is indicative of the true fair value of the Company mainly due to average daily trading volumes of less than 1%. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, no further work is required and no impairment loss is recognized. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the goodwill of the reporting unit is potentially impaired and we would then complete step 2 in order to measure the impairment loss. In step 2, the implied fair value is compared to the carrying amount of the goodwill. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value of goodwill, we would recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference. The implied fair value is calculated by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit (as determined in step 1) to all of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized intangible assets) and any excess in fair value that is not assigned to the assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill.

The discount rate and sales growth rates are the two material assumptions utilized in our calculations of the present value cash flows used to estimate the fair value of the reporting units when performing the annual goodwill impairment test. Our reporting units with goodwill are West Lafayette/Oregon and Evansville, based on the discrete financial information available which is reviewed by management. We utilize a cash flow approach in estimating the fair value of the reporting units, where the discount rate reflects a weighted average cost of capital rate. The cash flow model used to derive fair value is sensitive to the discount rate and sales growth assumptions used.

Considerable management judgment is necessary to evaluate the impact of operating and economic changes and to estimate future cash flows. Assumptions used in our impairment evaluations, such as forecasted sales growth rates and our cost of capital or discount rate, are based on the best available market information and are consistent with our internal forecasts and operating plans. Changes in these estimates or continued instability in the general economy could change our conclusion regarding an impairment of goodwill and potentially result in a non-cash impairment loss in a future period. The assumptions used in our impairment testing could be adversely affected by certain of the risks discussed in “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 and our 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. There have been no significant events since the timing of our impairment tests at fiscal year end 2009 that have triggered additional impairment testing.

At June 30, 2010, recorded goodwill was $1,383, and the net balance of other intangible assets was $91.

Income Taxes

As described in Note 6 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, we use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We recognize the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We record valuation allowances based on a determination of the expected realization of tax assets.

As of June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, we had a $29 and $473 liability for uncertain income tax positions, respectively.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2009

Service and Product Revenues

Revenues for the third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2010 decreased 0.7% to $8,064 compared to $8,121 for the same period last year.

Our Service revenue decreased 1.3% to $6,034 in the current quarter compared to $6,113 for the comparable prior year period primarily as a result of decreases in other laboratory services. While volumes of studies and samples continue to show an increase, pricing still lags pre-recession levels. An increase in new orders accepted in the current calendar year has led to an increase in our bioanalytical analysis and toxicology revenues in the current quarter.

	Three Months Ended
	June 30,
	2010		2009		Change			%
Bioanalytical analysis	$	3,635	$	3,361	$	274			8.2	%
Toxicology		2,168		2,024		144			7.1	%
Other laboratory services		231		728		(497	)		-68.3	%

Sales in our Products segment increased 1.1% from $2,008 in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 to $2,030 in the current quarter. Sales of our Culex® automated in vivo sampling systems increased in the current quarter. Though we continue to experience sluggish demand for higher priced capital assets, a few customers have begun to release capital funds for larger projects. Sales of our analytical products also increased over the comparable period last year as these sales are less dependent on capital investment cycles.

	Three Months Ended
	June 30,
	2010		2009		Change		%
Culex®, in-vivo sampling systems	$	1,129	$	985	$	144		14.6	%
Analytical instruments		826		745		81		10.9	%

Although our revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 were slightly less than in the comparable period in our prior fiscal year, third quarter revenues were the highest of the three quarters for our current fiscal year. This increase is the result of increased proposal opportunities and acceptance rates for our Service revenues since January 1, 2010 compared to the last six months of calendar 2009 and increased capital spending by Product customers.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues for the current quarter was $5,393 or 66.9% of revenue, compared to $5,986, or 73.7% of revenue for the comparable prior year period.

Cost of Service revenue as a percentage of Service revenue decreased to 75.2% in the current quarter from 85.3% in the comparable quarter of fiscal 2009. The principal cause of this decrease was a reduction of our work force in January 2010 and other cost containment measures.

Cost of Product revenue as a percentage of Product revenue in the current quarter increased to 42.1% from 38.5% in the comparable quarter of fiscal 2009. This increase is mainly due to a change in the mix of products sold in the current period.

Operating Expenses

Selling expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2010 decreased 19.8% to $589 from $734 for the comparable period of prior year. This decrease was primarily driven by the reduction in force and other personnel departures and cost containment measures to control non-essential spending.

Research and development expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 decreased 28.7% from the comparable period last year to $124 from $174. The main decrease in expense is attributable to completing our efforts on a project funded by an NIH grant.

General and administrative expenses for the current quarter increased 5.7% to $1,400 from $1,325 for the comparable period of fiscal 2009. This increase was mainly due to foreign exchange differences from the same period in the prior year. This increase was partially offset by a reduction in headcount, tight expense controls across all areas and the full vesting of many employee stock options.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest expense for the current quarter increased to $270 from $228 for the same quarter of the prior year. The primary reasons for the increase are cost of borrowing money under a new credit agreement described in Note 7 to these condensed consolidated financial statements and interest on capital leases new in the second quarter of fiscal 2010.

Income Taxes

We provided a tax benefit on domestic losses in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 based on anticipated loss utilization on a full year basis. We subsequently provided a reserve offsetting that benefit due to the uncertainty of its realization. No net benefits were provided on taxable losses in the current fiscal year.

Nine Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Nine Months Ended June 30, 2009

Service and Product Revenues

Revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 decreased 8.1% to $21,376 compared to $23,264 for the same period of fiscal 2009.

Our Service revenue decreased 7.6% to $16,092 in the first nine months compared to $17,423 for the prior year period primarily as a result of decreases in bioanalytical analysis, toxicology and other laboratory services revenues. Our bioanalytical analysis revenues decreased due to study delays by clients and price declines. Toxicology revenues decreased as a result of study delays and cancellations. Other laboratory services revenues decreased year-to- year due to a decline in new bookings as our customers reacted to the global recession and financial crisis.

	Nine Months Ended
	June 30,
	2010		2009		Change			%
Bioanalytical analysis	$	9,626	$	10,077	$	(451	)		-4.5	%
Toxicology		5,291		5,494		(203	)		-3.7	%
Other laboratory services		1,175		1,852		(677	)		-36.6	%

Sales in our Products segment decreased 9.5% from $5,841 to $5,284 when compared to the same period in the prior year. The majority of the decrease stems from a decrease in sales of our analytical products for the reasons cited in the discussion of the current quarter.

	Nine Months Ended
	June 30,
	2010		2009		Change			%
Culex, in-vivo sampling systems	$	2,482	$	2,387	$	95			4.0	%
Analytical instruments		2,211		2,387		(176	)		-7.4	%

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 2010 was $16,024 or 75.0% of revenue, compared to $18,210, or 78.3% of revenue for the comparable period in the prior year.

Cost of Service revenue as a percentage of Service revenue decreased to 86.1% in the first nine months of fiscal 2010 from 90.6% in the comparable period last year. The principal cause of this decrease is the reduction in workforce from the level of the prior year and other cost controls.

Cost of Product revenue as a percentage of Product revenue in the nine months ending June 30, 2010 decreased to 40.9% from 41.7% in the comparable period in the prior year. This decrease is mainly due to slightly lower revenues and headcount and other expense reductions, as well as a reduction in the cost of obsolete and slow moving inventory in the current year compared to the cost recognized in the prior year.

Operating Expenses

Selling expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 decreased 19.9% to $2,057 from $2,569 for the comparable period of prior year as a result of our reduction in workforce, lower sales commissions, and reductions in our marketing expenses.

Research and development expenses for the first nine months of fiscal 2010 decreased 26.7% from the comparable period of prior year to $434 from $592. The decrease was primarily attributable to completing a project funded by an NIH grant.

General and administrative expenses for the first nine months of fiscal 2010 decreased 16.2% to $4,830 from $5,765 for the comparable period in the prior year. The decrease is mainly due to the following: 1) severance expenses for former employees recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 exceeded those recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, 2) a decline in stock based compensation expense as grants became fully vested; and 3) company-wide efforts at cost controls. This decline was after absorbing $216 in the current year for lease settlement costs.

Other Income (Expense)

Other expense for the first nine months decreased to $786 from $867 for the same period of the prior year. The primary reason for the decrease is a $131 non-cash charge on our interest rate swaps in fiscal 2009.

Income Taxes

We provided a tax benefit on domestic losses in the first six months of fiscal 2009 based on anticipated loss utilization on a full year basis. We subsequently provided a reserve offsetting that benefit due to the uncertainty of its realization. The benefit in the current first nine months of fiscal 2010 is the result of resolving an uncertain state tax liability for less than the recorded amount. No net benefits have been provided on taxable losses in the current fiscal year.

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 June 30, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,499, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $870 at September 30, 2009.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,767 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $1,216 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in cash provided by operating activities in the current fiscal year partially results from a decrease in our operating loss. Other contributing factors to our cash from operations were $1,777 of depreciation and amortization, collections on accounts receivable of $853, an increase in customer advances of $1,333 as we booked new business and the recording of a $216 long-term liability in settlement of a contingent lease liability on our former Baltimore facility. The impact on operating cash flow of other changes in working capital was not material.

In January 2010, we completed a reduction in work force, through both attrition and terminations, which impacted all areas of operations and is expected to reduce our annual compensation expense by approximately 10%.

Financing activities used $1,371 in the first nine months of fiscal 2010 as our only financing transactions outside our normal draws and repayment of our line of credit were payments on our debt.

Capital Resources

Since the beginning of the banking crisis and economic recession in 2007-2008, we have had difficulty in achieving positive operating results, meeting our bank covenants, and replacing existing lenders when required by our prior lenders. We have $2,508 of existing bank debt that will mature in the next twelve months. We must either reach agreement with the existing lender to extend the maturity of this debt, or find alternative sources of funding to repay the debt. The current lender has indicated that its expectations are that the loans will be repaid at maturity.

We are actively pursuing potential opportunities with other lenders and with equity investors to procure the necessary funding to repay this debt; however, there are no assurances that the funding will be available or available on terms that would be acceptable to us. Obtaining this financing is dependent on continued improvement in our operating results and the general condition of the capital markets. Failure to renew or replace the debt would have material adverse effects on our operations.

We have mortgage notes payable to Regions aggregating approximately $8,324 and a line of credit with EGC of up to $3,000, which is subject to availability limitations that may substantially reduce or eliminate our borrowing capacity at any time, as described in Note 7, Debt, to our condensed consolidated financial statements. Borrowings under these credit agreements are collateralized by substantially all assets related to our operations, all common stock of our U.S. subsidiaries and 65% of the common stock of our non-United States subsidiaries. Under the terms of our credit agreements, we have agreed to limit additional indebtedness and capital expenditures and comply with certain financial covenants outlined in the borrowing agreements. All of these credit agreements contain cross-default provisions.

The covenants in our loan agreements with Regions require us to maintain certain ratios including a fixed charge coverage ratio and total liabilities to tangible net worth ratio. The Regions loan agreements both contain cross-default provisions with each other and with the revolving line of credit with EGC described below. At June 30, 2010, we were not in compliance with these covenants. On August 9, 2010, Regions waived our non-compliance with these covenants.

Revolving Line of Credit

Through January, 2011, we have a revolving line of credit (“Credit Agreement”), with EGC which we use for working capital and other purposes, with an option to extend the agreement for an additional year. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are collateralized by substantially all assets related to our operations, other than the real estate securing the Regions loans in which EGC has a second security position, by all common stock of our United States subsidiaries and 65% of the common stock of our non-United States subsidiaries. Based on our current business activities and cash on hand, we expect to continue to borrow on our revolving credit facility to finance working capital. We have instituted a freeze on non-emergency capital expenditures. As of June 30, 2010, we had $1,942 of total borrowing capacity, of which $1,341 was outstanding, and $1,499 of cash on hand.

One of the covenants in our revolving line of credit with EGC requires that we maintain a minimum tangible net worth of $9,500. At March 31, 2010, we were not in compliance with that covenant. EGC, subsequently, waived this non-compliance and permanently adjusted the minimum tangible net worth covenant to $9,000. At June 30, 2010, we were in compliance with the modified covenant.

We may face additional situations during fiscal 2010 where we are not in compliance with at least one covenant in the Credit Agreement, requiring that we obtain a waiver at that time. If that situation arises, we will be required to negotiate with our lender again to obtain loan modifications or waivers as described above. We cannot predict whether our lenders will provide those waivers, if required, what the terms of any such waivers might be or what impact any such waivers will have on our liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.

U.S. and global market and economic conditions continue to be disrupted and volatile and the disruption has been particularly acute in the financial sector. The cost and availability of funds may be adversely affected by, among other things, illiquid credit markets. Continued volatility in U.S. and global markets, which has adversely affected our cash flow from operations, could adversely affect our ability to obtain any additional funds for operations. This situation, coupled with the potential volatility of the credit markets and our inability to obtain financing on favorable terms, may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and business in the remainder of the current fiscal year and beyond.

ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the timelines specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of systems of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective systems of disclosure controls and procedures can provide only reasonable assurances of achieving their control objectives.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a — 15(e) and 15d — 15(e)) as of June 30, 2010. Based on such evaluation, our management has concluded that as of June 30, 2010, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As of September 30, 2009, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management’s evaluation identified a transaction-level material weakness in the design and operating effectiveness of controls related to income taxes. Based on this evaluation, we concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2009. We determined that our company’s accounting staff does not have sufficient technical accounting knowledge relating to accounting for income taxes which could result in a misstatement of account balances that would result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to our financial statements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

In the current quarter, we developed an enhanced tax provision model to capture, summarize and consolidate tax provision data to facilitate the preparation of our income tax provision. We also provided income tax accounting training to the accounting staff preparing the tax provision.

There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the first nine months of fiscal 2010 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
