To Profitability Before Restructuring Charges
Third Quarter Of Fiscal 2012
Indiana -- August 14, 2012 -- Bioanalytical Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: BASI) today announced financial results for the third
quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2012, highlighted by a return to operating profitability before restructuring charges for
of the restructuring program we announced just a few months ago are clearly evident in our third quarter financial performance.
As anticipated, revenue decreased compared to last year's third quarter but increased sequentially compared to the second quarter.
The company delivered earnings before interest taxes depreciation amortization, restructuring and non-cash compensation expenses
(EBITDAR) of $716,000 for this year's third quarter, as compared to a negative EBITDAR of $1,021,000 for the 2012 second quarter
and a negative EBITDAR of $704,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2012," said Interim President & CEO and CFO Jacqueline
our downsizing at the end of July, including all planned headcount reductions and the consolidation of our Oregon lab into our
West Lafayette facility. We are now in the process of closing our UK lab. This closure will be substantially complete by the end
of this month. This streamlining has permanently reduced our costs and improved capacity utilization while allowing us to continue
providing the high quality services and instruments our clients expect from BASi. We are on track to deliver at least $4.5 million
of annual operating cost reductions once our restructuring is fully implemented.
in this year's third quarter revenue compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was primarily due to lower toxicology services
revenue, as well as the run-off of bioanalytical projects in the UK that were not replaced due to the closure of this facility.
Encouragingly, pharmacological and discovery services and instrument sales for this year's third quarter returned to the higher
levels reported in the first quarter. While we expect fourth quarter revenue to be about equal to this year's third quarter, despite
the absence of revenue from the UK facility, EBITDAR should increase sequentially in the fourth quarter versus the third as our
costs continue to fall. We also are evaluating options to refinance the current mortgage debt on our balance sheet prior to its
maturity in November.
drug development and discovery services to the pharmaceutical industry for more than 35 years. We have a superb and dedicated technical
staff, world-class laboratory facilities, and we enjoy an outstanding reputation for the quality of our services and proprietary
test instruments. We are in the midst of a fundamental restructuring that has reduced the company's cost structure, instilled fiscal
discipline, and aligned our business development and operating goals. With these critical building blocks in place, I believe we
can steadily improve the company's operating performance and restore revenue growth, and I am committed to making this happen,"

third quarter, accounting for the value of the warrants and preferred stock issued in a public offering in May 2011 resulted in

Non-GAAP to GAAP Reconciliation
contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(GAAP). The non-GAAP financial measures are EBITDAR. EBITDAR refers to financial performance measures that exclude certain income
statement line items, such as interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and restructuring charges and/or exclude certain non-cash
expenses as permitted by our credit agreements, such as stock-based compensation.
The non-GAAP financial
information should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in
accordance with GAAP. Management, however, believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when used in conjunction with the results
presented in accordance with GAAP, may provide a more complete understanding of the Company's results and may facilitate
a fuller analysis of the Company's results, particularly in evaluating performance from one period to another. Management
has chosen to provide this supplemental information to investors, analysts, and other interested parties to enable them to perform
additional analyses of results and to illustrate the results giving effect to the non-GAAP adjustments shown in the reconciliation.
Management strongly encourages investors to review the Company's consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports
in their entirety and cautions investors that the non-GAAP measures used by the Company may differ from similar measures used by
other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures.
Non-GAAP Reconciliation
reconciliation of reported results to adjusted results is included in this press release, which is also posted on BASi's
website: www.BASInc.com.
