NOTES  TO  CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

(1)   DESCRIPTION  OF  THE  BUSINESS

    Bioanalytical  Systems,  Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") engage in
laboratory services, consulting and research related to analytical chemistry and
chemical  instrumentation.  The Company also manufactures scientific instruments
for  use  in  the  determination  of  trace  amounts  of  organic  compounds  in
biological,  environmental  and  industrial  materials.  The  Company  sells its
equipment  and  software  for  use  in  industrial,  governmental  and  academic
laboratories.  The  Company's  customers  are  located in the United  States and
throughout the world.

(2)    INTERIM  FINANCIAL  STATEMENT  PRESENTATION

   The  accompanying  interim  financial  statements are unaudited and have been
prepared by the Company  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, 1999.  In the opinion of
management,  the consolidated  financial  statements for the three month periods
and the six month  periods  ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 include all 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 month period and
the six month period ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily  indicative of the
results for the year ending September 30, 2000.

                                         =======           =======

(4)    DEBT

    The Company has a working  capital line of credit,  which  expires  April 1,
2001 and allows borrowings of up to $3,500,000.  Interest accrues monthly on the
outstanding  balance at the bank's  prime rate minus 50 basis  points  (8.50% at
March 31,  2000) or at the London  Interbank  Offered  Rate  (LIBOR)  plus 2% as
elected by the Company.  The line is  collateralized by inventories and accounts
receivable and requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios.  There
was $1,700,000 outstanding on this line of credit at March 31, 2000.

On June 24, 1999 the Company  obtained a $3,500,000  commercial  mortgage with a
bank. The mortgage note requires 59 monthly  principal  payments of $19,444 plus
interest  followed  by a  final  payment  for the  unpaid  principal  amount  of
$2,352,804  due June 24, 2004.  Interest is charged at the one-month  LIBOR rate
plus 200 basis points (8.1325% at March 31, 2000).
<PAGE>

(5)    LITIGATION

    In April  1997,  CMA  Microdialysis  Holding  A.B.  ("CMA")  filed an action
against the Company in the United States  District Court for the District of New
Jersey in which CMA alleged that the  Company's  microdialysis  probes  infringe
U.S.  Patent No.  4,694,832.  The Company has filed an answer in which it denied
infringement  and in which it  asserted  that the  patent on which CMA relies is
invalid.  The matter is now  awaiting a trial date.  Although an estimate of the
possible  loss has not been  made,  management  intends  to  continue a vigorous
defense of CMA's claims,  and believes that the ultimate  outcome of this matter
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's  financial condition or
results of operations.

(6)    ACQUISITION

Effective  October 1, 1999 the  Company  acquired  all of the  capital  stock of
Toxicology Pathology Services, Inc. (TPS), a provider of preclinical services to
pharmaceutical   companies  in  the  United  States.   The  purchase  price  was
approximately  $430,000 and was financed  through the  Company's  line of credit
(Note  4).  The  Company  also  refinanced  approximately  $750,000  of TPS debt
utilizing the Company's line of credit.  The purchase agreement provides for a 5
year  incentive  to be paid to the former  shareholders  of TPS, up to a maximum
aggregate  amount  based upon  certain  performance  targets,  as defined in the
agreement.

The  acquisition  was accounted for using the purchase  method of accounting and
the  results of  operations  have been  included in the  consolidated  financial
statements since the date of acquisition.

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 the Company's intent,  belief or
current expectations with respect to (i) the Company's strategic plans; (ii) the
Company's future profitability;  (iii) the Company's capital requirements;  (iv)
industry  trends  affecting  the  Company's  financial  condition  or results of
operations;  (v) the Company's  sales or marketing  plans; or (vi) the Company's
growth  strategy.  Investors in the Company's  Common Shares are cautioned  that
reliance on any  forward-looking  statement  involves  risks and  uncertainties,
including the risk factors contained in the Company's  Registration Statement on
Form S-1, File No. 333-36429. Although the Company believes that the assumptions
on which the forward-looking  statements contained herein are reasonable, any of
those  assumptions  could  prove  to  be  inaccurate,   and  as  a  result,  the
forward-looking statements based upon those assumptions also could be incorrect.
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 the Company that the Company's  plans and objectives  will be
achieved.

RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS

THREE  MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED
MARCH 31, 1999

     Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2000 decreased  19.1% to
$4.1 million  from $5.1  million for the three months ended March 31, 1999.  The
net  decrease of $1.0  million  was  primarily  due to  decreased  revenue  from
products,  which  decreased  to $1.5 million in the three months ended March 31,
2000 from $2.3  million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 as a result of
decreases in microdialysis,  electrochemistry and liquid chromatography  product
sales.  During this same period,  service revenue  decreased to $2.6 million for
the three  months  ended March 31, 2000 from $2.7  million for the three  months
ended  March 31,  1999  primarily  as a result of delays  and  cancellations  by
certain pharmaceutical customers.


<PAGE>

     Total cost of revenue for the three months  ended March 31, 2000  increased
6.8% to $2.7  million  from $2.5  million for the three  months  ended March 31,
1999.  This  increase of $200,000 was primarily  due to the  additional  cost of
revenue related to the services unit acquired to provide  preclinical  services.
Cost of services revenue  increased to 83.0% as a percentage of services revenue
for the three months ended March 31, 2000 from 60.3% of services revenue for the
three months ended March 31, 1999  primarily  due to an increase in the level of
staffing related to preclinical  services.  Cost of product revenue decreased to
35.5% as a  percentage  of product  revenue for the three months ended March 31,
2000 from 37.6% of product  revenue for the three  months  ended March 31, 1999,
primarily due to a change in product mix.

     Selling  expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2000 decreased 21.4%
to $726,000  from  $924,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999  primarily
due to the  reduction of  distributors  commissions.  Research  and  development
expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2000 decreased  19.3% to $ 447,000
from  $554,000 for the three months  ended March 31, 1999  primarily  due to the
reduction of grant activity.  General and administrative  expenses for the three
months ended March 31, 2000  increased  4.3% to $750,000  from  $719,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1999,  primarily as a result of the addition of the
preclinical services unit.

 Other  expense  was  $132,000 in the three  months  ended  March 31,  2000,  as
compared to other  income of $14,000 in the three  months  ended March 31, 1999,
primarily as a result of increased interest expense due to the increase in debt.

     The Company's  effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2000
was 35.0% as compared to 43.5% for the three months  ended March 31,  1999.  The
lower  rate for the three  months  ended  March 31,  2000 was due in part to the
impact of the state gross receipts tax.

SIX  MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 COMPARED WITH SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999

     Total  revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2000  decreased  11.6% to
$8.5 million from $9.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 1999.  The net
decrease of $1.1 million was primarily due to decreased  revenue from  products,
which decreased to $3.2 million in the six months ended March 31, 2000 from $4.6
million  for the six months  ended March 31, 1999 as a result of the ongoing lag
in Asia.  Service  revenue  increased  to $5.4  million for the six months ended
March  31,  2000 from $5.0  million  for the six  months  ended  March 31,  1999
primarily as a result of the addition of the preclinical services unit.

     Total cost of revenue for the six months  ended  March 31,  2000  increased
14.1% to $5.7 million from $5.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 1999.
This increase of $700,000 was primarily  due to the  additional  cost of revenue
related to the  preclinical  services  unit  acquired  in  Evansville  effective
October 1, 1999. Cost of services revenue  increased to 85.2% as a percentage of
services  revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2000 from 63.6% of services
revenue for the six months ended March 31, 1999 primarily due to the addition of
the preclinical services unit acquired in Evansville,  Indiana effective October
1, 1999. Cost of product  revenue  decreased to 36.3% as a percentage of product
revenue for the six months  ended  March 31, 2000 from 39.4% of product  revenue
for the six months  ended March 31, 1999,  primarily  due to a change in product
mix.

     Selling expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2000 decreased 21.2% to
$1,530,000 from $1,941,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1999 primarily due
to reduced distributor  commissions.  Research and development  expenses for the
six months ended March 31, 2000 decreased  13.5% to $895,000 from $1,035,000 for
the six months  ended  March 31,  1999  primarily  due to the  decrease of grant
projects. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended March 31,
2000 increased 6.2% to $1,379,000 from $1,299,000 for the six months ended March
31, 1999, primarily as a result of the addition of the preclinical services unit
acquired in Evansville, Indiana effective October 1, 1999.

 Other income  (expense),  net, was  approximately  $(232,000) in the six months
ended March 31, 2000, as compared to  approximately  $(14,000) in the six months
ended March 31,  1999 as a result of an increase in interest  expense due to the
increase in debt.

     The  Company's  effective  tax rate for the six months ended March 31, 2000
was 35.0% as compared  to 43.6% for the six months  ended  March 31,  1999.  The
lower rate for the six months ended March 31, 2000 was due in part to the impact
of the state gross receipts tax.

LIQUIDITY  AND  CAPITAL  RESOURCES

     At March 31, 2000,  the Company had cash and cash  equivalents  of $532,000
compared to cash and cash  equivalents  of $1,924,000 at September 30, 1999. The
decrease in cash resulted primarily from the Company's operating activities.

     The Company's net cash (used) by operating  activities was $(1,236,000) for
the six months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to $(287,000)  for the first six
months of fiscal 1999.  The negative  cash flow from  operations  during the six
months ended March 31, 2000 was  partially  the result of a net loss of $799,000
offset by  non-cash  charges  of  $104,000  plus a net change of  $(541,000)  in
operating  assets and liabilities.  The most  significant  decrease in operating
liabilities related to accounts payable,  which decreased $867,000 to $1,318,000
at March 31, 2000.

     Cash used by  investing  activities  was  $905,000 for the six months ended
March  31,  2000 from  $2,288,000  for the six  months  ended  March  31,  1999,
primarily as a result of the Company's  acquistion of the  preclinical  services
unit.  Cash provided by financing  activities for the six months ended March 31,
2000  was  $765,000  primarily  due to the  increase  of  debt to  complete  the
acquistion and refinancing of debt of the preclinical services unit.

     Total  expenditures by the Company for property and equipment were $459,000
and $2,288,000  for the six months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.
Expenditures  made in connection  with the expansion of the Company's  operating
facilities  and  purchases  of  laboratory  equipment  account  for the  largest
portions  of these  expenditures.  The  Company  anticipates  reduced  levels of
capital  expenditures during the remainder of fiscal 2000 in connection with the
renovation  and  construction  of  additional  facilities  and the  purchase  of
additional laboratory  equipment.  The Company currently has no firm commitments
for capital expenditures.  The Company also expects to make other investments to
expand its operations  through internal growth and, as attractive  opportunities
arise, through strategic acquisitions, alliances and joint ventures.

     Based on its current  business  activities,  the Company believes that cash
generated  from its  operations  and amounts  available  under its existing bank
lines of credit will be sufficient to fund its  anticipated  working capital and
capital expenditure requirements.

 The Company has a working  capital line of credit,  which expires April 1, 2001
and allows  borrowings  of up to  $3,500,000.  Interest  accrues  monthly on the
outstanding  balance at the bank's  prime rate minus 50 basis  points (8.50 % at
March 31,  2000) or at the London  Interbank  Offered  Rate  (LIBOR)  plus 2% as
elected by the Company.  The line is  collateralized by inventories and accounts
receivable and requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios.  There
was $1,700,000 outstanding on this line of credit at March 31, 2000.

On June 24, 1999 the Company  obtained a $3,500,000  commercial  mortgage with a
bank. The mortgage note requires 59 monthly  principal  payments of $19,444 plus
interest  followed  by a  final  payment  for the  unpaid  principal  amount  of
$2,352,804  due June 24, 2004.  Interest is charged at the one-month  LIBOR rate
plus 200 basis points (8.1325% at March 31, 2000).

PART  II  -  OTHER  INFORMATION

ITEM  1.     LEGAL  PROCEEDINGS

     In April,  1997,  CMA  Microdialysis  Holding A.B.  ("CMA") filed an action
against the Company in the United States  District Court for the District of New
Jersey in which CMA alleged that the  Company's  microdialysis  probes  infringe
U.S.  Patent No.  4,694,832.  The Company has filed an answer in which it denied
infringement and asserted that the patent on which CMA relies is invalid.  Sales
of the product in question  accounted for less than one percent of the Company's
revenues in fiscal 1999 and for the first six months of fiscal 2000.  The matter
is now awaiting a trial date.  Management intends to continue a vigorous defense
against CMA's claims, and believes that the ultimate outcome of this matter will
not have a material  adverse  effect on the  Company's  financial  condition  or
results of operations.  However,  legal expenses  associated with the defense of
this suit have had and will continue to have an adverse effect on earnings.

ITEM  2.     CHANGES  IN  SECURITIES  AND  USE  OF  PROCEEDS.

     In the second  quarter of 2000,  the Company  issued an aggregate of 39,095
Common  Shares to  certain  employees  and  members  of the  Company's  Board of
Directors upon the exercise of stock options for an aggregate  purchase price of
$25,802.70.  The  issuance of these Common  Shares was exempt from  registration
under the Securities  Act of 1933, as amended,  pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof
and Rule 701 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
