Systems, Inc. Reports Profit for First Quarter of Fiscal 2011
LAFAYETTE, Ind., February 7, 2011- Bioanalytical Systems, Inc.
(Nasdaq: BASI) today reported financial results for the first three months of
fiscal 2011, ending December 31, 2010.
the quarter ended December 31, 2010, the Company reported net earnings of
$310,000 ($0.06 per share, basic and diluted) on revenues of $8.1 million.
This compares to a loss of $1.5 million ($0.30 per share, basic and diluted) on
revenues of $6.4 million in the corresponding quarter of the prior year.
The improvement in earnings for the current fiscal quarter is mainly due to
higher revenues in both our service and product segments as well as reductions
in operating expenses. Revenues increased 27.7% in our services segment
and 24.3% in our products segment from the prior year period. Revenues for
the first fiscal quarter of 2011 were higher than any of the four quarters of
fiscal 2010. Increased proposal opportunities, new orders accepted and
increased research and development spending from our products clients have
contributed to the revenue improvement. Operating expenses were reduced
$265,000 from the first quarter of the prior year mainly due to cost containment
initiatives implemented throughout the Company.
Company negotiated an amendment to two of its loan agreements with Regions Bank
("Regions"), on November 29, 2010. Regions agreed to accept a $500,000
principal payment on a note with $1.1 million of principal maturing on December
18, 2010 and a $500,000 principal payment on another note with $1.3 million of
principal maturing on February 11, 2011. The unpaid principal on the notes
will be incorporated into a replacement note maturing in November, 2012. The
