NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in thousands except per share

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
|
Bioanalytical Systems,
Inc. and its subsidiaries (“We,” “Our,” “Us,” the “Company” or “BASi”)
provide contract research services to pharmaceutical and agrochemical companies, biomedical research organizations and government
sponsored research centers. The Company integrates innovative laboratory services into its consultative practice to support clients’
drug discovery and development objectives for improved decision-making in toxicology, metabolism and disposition and regulated
bioanalysis. Our manufacture of scientific instruments and related software for life sciences research is another component of
creating innovative solutions for clients. 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, included in the Company’s annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2018. Certain amounts in the fiscal 2018 consolidated financial statements
have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2019 presentation without affecting previously reported net income (loss) or stockholders’
equity. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended June
30, 2019 and 2018 include all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods and
of our financial position at June 30, 2019. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 may not
be indicative of the results for the year ending September 30, 2019.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
|
The Company’s
2008 Stock Option Plan (“the Plan”) was 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 fiscal year ended September
30, 2018. In March 2018, our shareholders approved the amendment and restatement of the Plan in the form of the Amended and Restated
2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”) and the Company currently grants equity awards from the Equity Plan.
The purpose of the Equity Plan is to promote our long-term interests by providing a means of attracting and retaining officers,
directors and key employees. The maximum number of common shares that may be granted under the Equity Plan is 700 shares plus the
remaining shares from the 2008 Stock Option Plan.
All options granted
under the Plan and the Equity Plan had an exercise price equal to the fair 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. We recognize expense
for awards subject to graded vesting using the straight-line attribution method, reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures
are revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates and an adjustment is recognized
at that time. Stock based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 was $71 and $196, respectively.
Stock based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018 was $33 and $102, respectively. The additional
expense in the nine months ending June 30, 2019 was due to the grants issued to our new Chief Executive Officer in January 2019,
option grants to all employees that were issued as of February 6, 2019 as well as option grants for employees related to the Smithers
Avanza acquisition, as described in Note 9.
A summary of our stock
option activity for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 is as follows (in thousands except for share prices):

The weighted-average
assumptions used to compute the fair value of the options granted in the nine months ended June 30, 2019 were as follows:
Risk-free interest rate
|
2.51%
|
Dividend yield
|
0.00%
|
Volatility of the expected market price of the Company's common shares
|
71.1%-72.5%

8.0
|
As of June 30, 2019, our total unrecognized
compensation cost related to non-vested stock options was $540 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average service
period of 1.4 years.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2019,
we granted a total of 45 shares, of which 10 shares are restricted, to our CEO under the terms of his employment agreement. A summary
of our restricted share activity for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 is as follows:

period of 1.55 years. The total fair value of the unrestricted shares granted during the three and nine months ended June
30, 2019 was $44.

INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
|
We compute basic income
(loss) per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The Company has two categories of dilutive potential
common shares: Series A preferred shares issued in May 2011 in connection with our registered direct offering and shares issuable
upon exercise of options. We compute diluted earnings per share using the if-converted method for preferred stock and the treasury
stock method for stock options, respectively. Shares issuable upon exercise of 773 options and 17 common shares issuable upon conversion
of preferred shares were not considered in computing diluted income (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended June 30,
2019 because they were anti-dilutive.
The following table reconciles our computation
of basic income per share to diluted income per share:

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 allowance 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 settlement of the position.
At June 30, 2019 and
September 30, 2018, we had no liability for uncertain income tax positions.
We record interest
and penalties accrued in relation to uncertain income tax positions as a component of income tax expense. Any changes in the liability
for uncertain tax positions would impact our effective tax rate. We do not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits
to significantly change in the next twelve months.
We file income tax
returns in the U.S. and several U.S. states. We remain subject to examination by taxing authorities in the jurisdictions in which
we have filed returns for years after 2013.
Credit Facility
On June 23, 2017, we
entered into a Credit Agreement with First Internet Bank of Indiana (“FIB”), which Credit Agreement as of June 30,
2019 had been amended on July 2, 2018, September 6, 2018, September 28, 2018 and May 1, 2019 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”).
The Credit Agreement includes three term loans (the “Initial Term Loan”, “Subsequent Term Loan,” and "New
Term Loan," respectively), a revolving line of credit (the “Revolving Facility”), a construction draw loan (the
“Construction Draw Loan”), an equipment draw loan (the “Equipment Draw Loan”), and a capital expenditure
line of credit (the "Capex Line").
The Initial Term Loan
for $4,500 bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.99%, with monthly principal and interest payments of approximately $33. The Initial
Term Loan matures in June 2022. The balance on the Initial Term Loan at June 30, 2019 was $4,048. We used the proceeds from the
Initial Term Loan to satisfy our indebtedness with Huntington Bank and terminated the related interest rate swap.
The July 2, 2018 amendment
to the Credit Facility provided the Company with the Subsequent Term Loan in the amount of $5,500, the proceeds of which were used
to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the acquisition of Seventh Wave Laboratories LLC. Amounts outstanding under the
Subsequent Term Loan bear interest at a fixed per annum rate of 5.06%, with monthly principal and interest payments equal to $78.
The Subsequent Term Loan matures July 2, 2023 and the balance on the Subsequent Term Loan at June 30, 2019 was $4,887.
The Revolving Facility
provides a line of credit for up to $3,500 which the Company may borrow from time to time, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement,
including as may be limited by the amount of the Company’s outstanding eligible receivables. The Revolving Credit Facility
bears interest at the Prime Rate (generally defined as the highest rate identified as the “Prime Rate” in The Wall
Street Journal “Money Rates” column on the date the interest rate is to be determined, or if that date is not a publication
date, on the publication date immediately preceding) less Twenty-five (25) Basis Points (0.25%). The balance on the Revolving Facility
was $572 and $0 as of June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively. We must pay accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding
balance under the Revolving Facility on a monthly basis.
The September 28, 2018
amendment provided the Company with the Construction Draw Loan in a principal amount not to exceed $4,445 and the Equipment Draw
Loan in a principal amount not to exceed $1,429. The Construction Draw Loan and Equipment Draw Loan each mature on March 28, 2025.
As of June 30, 2019, there was a $2,012 balance on the Construction Draw Loan and a $499 balance on the Equipment Draw Loan.
Subject to certain
conditions precedent, a Construction Draw Loan and an Equipment Draw Loan each permit the Company to obtain advances aggregating
up to the maximum principal amount available for such loan through March 28, 2020. Amounts outstanding under these loans bear interest
at a fixed per annum rate of 5.20%. The Construction Draw Loan and the Equipment Draw Loan each require monthly payments of accrued
interest on amounts outstanding through March 28, 2020, and thereafter monthly payments of principal and interest on amounts then
outstanding through maturity.
In connection with
the Smithers Avanza Acquisition, on May 1, 2019, as described in Note 9, the Company and FIB entered into a fourth amendment (the
“Fourth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement to (i) extend the term of the Company’s Revolving Facility to June
30, 2020, (ii) provide the Company with an additional term loan (the “New Term Loan”) in the amount of $1,271, the
proceeds of which were used to fund the cash consideration for the Smithers Avanza Acquisition, and (iii) provide for an additional
line of credit in the principal amount of $1,100 (the “Capex Line”), which the Company may borrow from time to time,
subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement. The New Term Loan and the Capex Line mature November 1, 2025 and June 30, 2020, respectively.
As of June 30, 2019, the balances on the New Term Loan and Capex Line were $1,271 and $460, respectively.
Amounts outstanding
under the New Term Loan bear interest at a fixed per annum rate of 4.63%, while interest accrues on the principal balance of the
Capex Line at a floating per annum rate equal to the sum of the Prime Rate plus Fifty Basis Points (0.5%), which rate shall change
concurrently with the Prime Rate. Commencing June 1, 2019, the New Term Loan requires monthly interest only payments until December
1, 2019, from which time payments of principal and interest in monthly installments of $20 become due, with all accrued but unpaid
interest, cost and expenses due and payable at the maturity date. The Company is required to pay accrued but unpaid interest on
the Capex Line on a monthly basis commencing on June 1, 2019, until June 30, 2020, at which time the entire balance of the Capex
Line, together with accrued but unpaid interest, costs and expenses, shall be due and payable in full. a unsecured promissory note
in the initial principal amount of $810 made by the Smithers Avanza Purchaser and guaranteed by the Company. The promissory note
bears interest at 6.5%.
Following its amendment,
the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by BAS Evansville, Inc. (“BASEV”), Seventh
Wave Laboratories, LLC (“Seventh Wave”), as well as BASi Gaithersburg LLC (“BASi Gaithersburg”), each a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement and BASEV’s, Seventh Wave’s
and the BASi Gaithersburg’s obligations under their respective Guaranties are secured by first priority security interests
in substantially all of the assets of the Company, BASEV, Seventh Wave and the BASi Gaithersburg respectively, as well as mortgages
on the Company’s and BASEV’s facilities in West Lafayette, Indiana and Evansville, Indiana, respectively, and pledges
of the Company’s ownership interests in its subsidiaries.
The Credit Agreement
contains various restrictive covenants, including restrictions on the Company's ability to dispose of assets, make acquisitions
or investments, incur debt or liens, make distributions to shareholders or repurchase outstanding stock, enter into related party
transactions and make capital expenditures, other than upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement. The
Credit Agreement also requires us to maintain (i) a minimum debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.0 for the period
ended June 30, 2019 (with ratios ranging from 1.25 to 1.0 to 1.15 to 1.0 for the periods thereafter) and (ii) beginning with the
quarter ended March 31, 2020, a cash flow coverage ratio whereby, the ratio of the Company’s total funded debt (as defined
in the Credit Agreement) as of the last day of each fiscal quarter to its EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the 12
months ended on such date may not exceed 4.50 to 1.00 (5.0 to 1.0 for the period ended March 31, 2020). Upon an event of default,
which includes certain customary events such as, among other things, a failure to make required payments when due, a failure to
comply with covenants, certain bankruptcy and insolvency events, and defaults under other material indebtedness, FIB may cease
advancing funds, increase the interest rate on outstanding balances, accelerate amounts outstanding, terminate the agreement and
foreclose on all collateral. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2019. The Company has also agreed
to obtain a life insurance policy in an amount not less than $2,000 for its President and Chief Executive Officer and to provide
FIB an assignment of such life insurance policy as collateral.
Additionally as part
of the Smithers Avanza Acquisition, we have an unsecured promissory note payable to the Smithers Avanza Seller in the initial principal
amount of $810 made by BASi Gaithersburg and guaranteed by the Company. The promissory note bears interest at 6.5%.
Long term debt is detailed

As part of a fiscal
2012 restructuring, we accrued for lease payments at the cease use date for our United Kingdom facility and have considered free
rent, sublease rentals and the number of days it would take to restore the space to its original condition prior to our improvements.
Based on these matters, we had a $1,117 reserve for lease related costs and
for
legal and professional fees and other costs to remove improvements previously made to the facility
. During the first nine
months of fiscal 2019, the Company released portions of the reserve for lease related liabilities that were no longer owed due
to the statute of limitations. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, general and administrative expenses on the Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) were reduced by $78 and $624, respectively for the liability
reduction. At June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively, we had $425 and $1,117 reserved for the remaining liability.
The reserve is classified as a current liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Overview
On July 2, 2018, the
Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Seventh Wave Laboratories, LLC (f/k/a Cardinal Laboratories LLC) (the “Seventh
Wave Purchaser”), acquired (the “Seventh Wave Acquisition”) substantially all of the assets of SW Chrysalis,
LLC (f/k/a Seventh Wave Laboratories LLC) (the “Seventh Wave Seller”), a consulting-based contract research laboratory

valued at $2,475, using the closing price of the Company’s common shares on June 29, 2018. The Seventh Wave Purchaser is
operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company funded the cash portion of the purchase price for the Seventh
Wave Acquisition with cash on hand and the net proceeds from the refinancing of its credit arrangements with FIB, as described
in Note 7.
Smithers Avanza Toxicology Services LLC acquisition
Overview
On May 1, 2019, the
Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary BASi Gaithersburg LLC (f/k/a Oriole Toxicology Services LLC) (the “ Smithers
Avanza Purchaser”), acquired (the “Smithers Avanza Acquisition”) from Smithers Avanza Toxicology Services LLC
(the “Smithers Avanza Seller”), a consulting-based contract research laboratory located in Gaithersburg, Maryland,
substantially all of the assets used by the Smithers Avanza Seller in connection with the performance of in-vivo mammalian toxicology
CRO services for pharmaceuticals (small molecules and biologics), vaccines, agro and industrial chemicals, under the terms and
conditions of an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated May 1, 2019, among the Smithers Avanza Purchaser, the Company, the Smithers Avanza
Seller and the member of the Smithers Avanza Seller (the “Smithers Avanza Purchase Agreement”). The total consideration

The Smithers Avanza
Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants (including non-competition requirements applicable
to the selling parties for a 5-year period) and indemnification provisions. As contemplated by the Smithers Avanza Purchase Agreement,
on May 1, 2019 the Smithers Avanza Purchaser assumed amended lease arrangements for certain premises in Gaithersburg, Maryland
(the “Lease Arrangements”). Under the Lease Arrangements, the Smithers Avanza Purchaser agreed to lease the premises
for a term of 5 years and 8 months, with two 5 year extensions at the Smithers Avanza Purchaser’s option. Annual minimum
rental payments under the initial term of the Lease Arrangements range from $400 to $600, provided that the Lease Arrangements
provide the Smithers Avanza Purchaser with the option to purchase the premises. The Lease Arrangements include customary rights
upon a default by landlord or tenant.
Accounting for the Transaction
The Company accounts
for acquisitions in accordance with guidance found in ASC 805, Business Combinations. The guidance requires consideration given,
including contingent consideration, assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be valued at their fair market values at the acquisition
date. The guidance further provides that: (1) in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived
intangible asset; (2) acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred, (3) restructuring costs associated with a business
combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and (4) changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances
and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense. ASC 805 requires that any excess
of purchase price over fair value of assets acquired, including identifiable intangibles and liabilities assumed, be recognized
as goodwill. Preliminary results are included in the Company’s results from the acquisition date of May 1, 2019.
The Company’s
preliminary allocation of the $2,475 purchase price to Smithers Avanza’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired
and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values as of May 1, 2019, is included in the table below. Goodwill, which
is derived from the enhanced scientific expertise, expanded customer base and our ability to provide broader service solutions
through a comprehensive portfolio, is recorded based on the amount by which the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the net
assets acquired and is deductible for tax purposes. The preliminary purchase price allocation as of June 30, 2019 is as follows:

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
|
On October 1, 2018,
the Company adopted Accounting Standard Codification, or ASC Topic 606, “
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
,”
(Topic 606), using the modified retrospective method for all contracts that were not completed as of October 1, 2018. Comparative
prior period information continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the period presented. Topic 606
superseded the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. Topic 606 requires the Company to recognize
revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which
the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance requires the Company to apply the following
steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction
price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as,
the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
The cumulative effect
of initially applying the new revenue standard was $(76) and has been recorded as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained
earnings. The cumulative adjustment relates primarily to the recognition of revenue for free archive storage offered to customers.
Gross sales and deferred revenue of $(76), respectively, were recorded as part of the cumulative effect adjustment. The comparative
information has not been restated and it is reported in accordance with accounting standard Topic 605, which was in effect for
those periods.
On
October 1, 2018 the Company adopted ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), which addresses eight specific
cash flow issues and is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and
classified in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15,
2017. The adoption of this guidance had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the
FASB issued updated guidance on leases which, for operating leases, requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease
liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in its balance sheet. The standard also requires a lessee
to recognize a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term, on a generally straight-line
basis. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal
years, with earlier application permitted. The amendments are to be applied prospectively to business combinations that occur after
the effective date. The Company is progressing with its preparation for the adoption and implementation of this new accounting
standard and related changes in internal controls and will adopt the standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.
In accordance with
ASC 606, the Company disaggregates its revenue from customers into two revenue streams, service revenue and product revenue. At
contract inception the Company assesses the services promised in the contract with the customers to identify performance obligations
in the arrangements.
Service revenue
The Company enters
into contracts with customers to provide drug discovery and development services with payments based on mainly fixed-fee arrangements.
The Company also offers free archive storage services on certain contracts. Customers can also enter into separate archive storage
contracts after the expiration of the free storage period.
The Company’s
drug discovery and development services contracts that include a free storage period are considered a single performance obligation
because the company provides a highly integrated service. The inclusion of free storage fee in the measurement of progress under
the discovery and development service contracts creates a timing difference between the amounts the company is entitled to receive
in reimbursement of cost incurred and amount of revenue recognized on such costs, which is recognized as deferred revenue and classified
as customer advances on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The Company’s
fixed fee arrangements may involve bioanalytical and pharmaceutical method development and validation, nonclinical research services
and the analysis of bioanalytical and pharmaceutical samples. For bioanalytical and pharmaceutical method validation services and
nonclinical research services, revenue is recognized over time using the input method based on the ratio of direct costs incurred
to total estimated direct costs. For contracts that involve method development or the analysis of bioanalytical and pharmaceutical
samples, revenue is recognized over time when samples are analyzed or when services are performed. The Company generally bills
for services on a milestone basis. These contracts represent a single performance obligation and due to the Company’s right
to payment for work performed, revenue is recognized over time. Research services contract fees received upon acceptance are deferred
until earned, and classified within customer advances on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Unbilled revenues represent
revenues earned under contracts in advance of billings.
Archive services provide
climate controlled archiving for client’s data and samples. The archive revenue is recognized over time, generally when the
service is provided. These arrangements typically include only one performance obligation. Amounts related to future archiving
or prepaid archiving contracts for customers where archiving fees are billed in advance are accounted for as deferred revenue and
recognized ratably over the period the applicable archive service is performed.
Product revenue
The Company’s
products can be sold to multiple customers and have alternative use. Both the transaction sales price and shipping terms are agreed
upon in the customer order. For these products, all revenue is recognized at a point in time, generally when title of the product
and risk of loss is transferred to the customer based upon shipping terms. These arrangements typically include only one performance
obligation. Certain products have maintenance agreements available for customers to purchase. These are typically billed in advance
and are accounted for as deferred revenue and recognized ratably over the applicable maintenance period.
The impact of adoption of ASC 606 to the
Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2019 is as follows:

Recent Developments and Executive Summary
Over the last twelve
months, we have undertaken significant internal and external growth initiatives. We acquired the business of Seventh Wave Laboratories,
LLC, in July 2018, commenced the expansion of our facilities in Evansville, Indiana, in Ocotber 2018, which should be completed
by November 2019 and validated by March 2020, acquired the toxicolgy business of Smithers Avanza on May 1, 2019, and obtained funding
to support these initiatives and other improvements to our facilites and equipment in order to support future growth and enhance
our scientific capabilities, client service offerings and client experiences. In addition to the aquisitions and facility expansions
and improvements, during the nine months ended June 30, 2019, we recruited and filled open positions for Chief Executive Officer,
Chief Operations Officer, Chief Commercial Officer and a critical scientific leadership role of Senior Vice President for DMPK.
We believe these leaders, combined with our existing management team and expansion initiatives, development of our sales and marketing
team and the hiring of new employees to develop our scientific team, have led and will continue to lead to signifcant growth in
revenue and the ablity to improve the service offerings to our clients. We recoginize the recent investments in growth, developing
a leadership team, new employees, scientific strength and added services are critical to meeting the future expecations of our
clients, employees and shareholders. We believe, the actions and investments over the last year have allowed the Company to form
a foundation we can build upon. Our financial results have been in line with management's expectations for fiscal 2019. Our new
orders remain strong and we believe we are on track with our goals and plans for this year and fiscal 2020.
The acquisition of
Seventh Wave Laboratories LLC, a consulting-based contract research laboratory located in Maryland Heights, Missouri providing
integrated services for discovery and preclinical drug development, was completed under the terms and conditions of an Asset Purchase
Agreement, dated July 2, 2018 (the “Seventh Wave Acquisition”). In connection with the Seventh Wave Acquisition, on
July 2, 2018 the Company and First Internet Bank entered into an amendment to the Company's credit arrangements. Refer to the Liquidity
and Capital Resources Section herein for additional information. We have been capitalizing on the collective skill sets, expertise
and assets acquired via the Seventh Wave Acquisition to expand our service offerings and reach additional clients.
On September 28, 2018,
we entered into a further amendment to our credit arrangements which provided lines of credit for borrowings of up to $4,445 for
construction financing and $1,429 for future equipment acquisitions. In October 2018, we signed a contract to begin construction
of approximately 12,000 feet of expanded laboratory space at our Evansville facility. The space is projected to be completed by
November of 2019 and validated by March 2020.
On May 1, 2019, we
acquired certain toxicology related assets of Smithers Avanza Toxicology Services LLC, a consulting-based contract research laboratory
located in Gaithersburg, Maryland providing in-vivo mammalian toxicology CRO services for pharmaceuticals (small molecules and
biologics), vaccines, agro and industrial chemicals (the “Smithers Avanza Acquisition”). In connection with the Smithers
Avanza Acquisition, on May 1, 2019, the Company and First Internet Bank entered into an amendment to the Company's credit arrangements.
Refer to Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. We have and anticipate continuing
to taking advantage of immediate capacity and expect to further capitalize on the assets and broadened scientific expertise acquired
via the Smithers Avanza Acquisition to reach additional clients.
We are working on the
integration of the combined businesses resulting from the Seventh Wave Acquisition and the Smithers Avanza Acquisition. We plan
to further develop our sales, marketing, client services and branding. We will continue to evaluate additional internal and external
growth opportunities and new services to provide to existing clients. We will also continue to develop existng services into "Centers
of Excellance" to distinguish our services in the industry.
Business Overview
Bioanalytical Systems,
Inc. and its subsidiaries (“We,” “Our,” “Us,” the “Company” or “BASi”)
provide contract research services to pharmaceutical and agrochemical companies, biomedical research organizations and government
sponsored research centers. The Company integrates innovative laboratory services into its consultative practice to support clients’
drug discovery and development objectives for improved decision-making in toxicology, metabolism and disposition and regulated
bioanalysis. Our manufacture of scientific instruments and related software for life sciences research is another component of
creating innovative solutions for clients. Our customers are located throughout the world. We derive our revenues from sales of
our research services and drug development instruments, both of which are focused on evaluating drug safety and efficacy.
We support both the
non-clinical and clinical development needs of researchers and clinicians for small molecule drug candidates. Our scientists have
the skills in analytical instrumentation development, chemistry, computer software development, histology, pathology, 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 research from small start-up biotechnology companies to many of the largest
global pharmaceutical companies. We are committed to bringing scientific expertise, quality and speed to every drug discovery and
development program to help our clients develop safe and effective life-changing medicines.
Our business is largely
dependent on the level of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies' efforts in new drug discovery and approval. Our contract
research services segment is a direct beneficiary of these efforts, through outsourcing by these companies of research work. Our
products segment is an indirect beneficiary of these efforts, as increased drug development leads to capital expansion, providing
opportunities to sell the equipment we produce and the consumable supplies 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 "blockbuster" 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 opportunity, and to re-evaluate their cost structures and the time-to-market
of their products. Contract research organizations 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 CROs as they develop, test and manufacture
their generic compounds.
We also believe that
the development of innovative new drugs is evolving, evidenced by the significant reduction of expenditures on research and development
at several major international pharmaceutical companies, accompanied by increases in outsourcing and investments in smaller start-up
companies that are performing the early development work on new compounds. Many of these smaller companies are funded by either
venture capital or pharmaceutical investment, or both, and generally do not build internal staffs that possess the extensive scientific
and regulatory skills required to perform the various activities necessary to progress a drug candidate to the filing of an Investigative
New Drug application with the FDA.
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 biotech companies have reached the status of major pharmaceutical companies, 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 regulatory
submissions. These companies have provided significant new opportunities for the CRO industry, including BASI. We believe that
the Company is ideally positioned to serve these customers as they look for alternatives to the large CROs that cater primarily
to the large pharmaceutical company segment of the marketplace.
While continuing to
maintain and develop our relationships with large pharmaceutical companies, we aggressively promote our services to developing
businesses, which will require us to expand our existing capabilities to provide services early in the drug discovery and development
phases, and to consult with customers on regulatory strategy and compliance leading to their FDA filings. Our Enhanced Drug Discovery
services, part of this strategy, utilizes our proprietary Culex® technology to provide early experiments in our laboratories
that previously would have been conducted in the sponsor’s facilities. As we move forward, we must balance the demands of
the large pharmaceutical companies with the personal touch needed by smaller companies to develop a competitive advantage. We intend
to accomplish this through the use of and expanding upon our existing project management skills, strategic partnerships and relationship
management.
Research services are
capital intensive. The investment in equipment, facilities and human capital to serve our markets is substantial and continuing.
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 operations, which will necessitate additional capital investment. Our ability to generate capital to reinvest in
our capabilities and to obtain additional capital if and as needed through financial transactions, is critical to our success.
Sustained growth will require additional investment in future periods. Positive cash flow and access to capital will be important
to our ability to make such investments.
In fiscal 2018, following
improvements in many areas in fiscal 2017, we were able to see our new vision start to come to fruition as we addressed deferred
maintenance issues, made strategic investments in new equipment, recruited critical leadership positions and scientists and obtained
additional financing which allowed us to complete the Seventh Wave Acquisition. In fiscal 2018, we also increased our investment
in research and development for specific products and restarted the discovery lab in West Lafayette. Our goals included increasing
revenue on a consistent basis while investing and adding additional talent and complementary services. During fiscal 2019, in addition
to closing the Smithers Avanza Acquisition and the expansion of our Evansville facility, we have concentrated efforts and investments
on recruiting and filling critical leadership and scientific positions, enhancing our business development program and marketing
efforts, as well as ongoing Company-wide activities intended to enhance the client experience and streamline our communication,
systems and operations.
We completed the Seventh
Wave Acquisition in July 2018 and the Smithers Avanza Acquisition in May 2019, during the third quarter of fiscal 2019. We believe
these acquisitions will allow us to capitalize on the collective skill sets, expertise and assets of the combined operations to
expand our service offerings and reach more clients. We believe further that these acquisitions have provided the Company additional
support for further corporate development, and additional sales talent to help drive profitable growth. With the acquisitions,
we have more than doubled our active client base, enhanced client service offerings and have the ability to reduce expenses for
services previously outsourced by the newly combined entities. In addition, the combined operations provide an opportunity to integrate
support services and leverage relevant software.
Our long-term strategic
objectives are to be a Company people want to be a part of that is respected by clients for its excellance in service, products
and performance, and to maximize the Company’s intrinsic value per share. Our goals include increasing revenue on a consistent
basis, while investing and adding additional talent and complementary services in order to deliver excellent data and results for
our clients. We intend to continue enhancing our business development program and marketing efforts, increasing our visibility
in the marketplace and building our sales team. We also intend to complete ongoing Company-wide activities intended to enhance
the client experience and streamline our communication, systems and operations. We have seen our sales and backlog grow as we continue
to promote our vision.
During fiscal 2019,
we have continued to invest in Products research and development in order to upgrade current products and to identify potential
new products. We have also further developed and expanded our relationships with distributors and resellers to boost sales in our
Products business. We continue to evaluate adding additional partnerships with companies similar to our current partners, Joanneum
Research and PalmSens, to expand our Product offerings. Further, we have added key talent to help drive sales and development of
our Products and to solidify relationships with our clients and prospective partners. We believe these measures will prepare us
for growth in the long term.
We plan to continue
to emphasize establishing a positive culture, which we believe has significantly reduced our employee turnover and will facilitate
our continued recruitment and retention of talent.
We review various metrics
to evaluate our financial performance, including revenue, margins and earnings. In the nine months ended June 30, 2019, total revenues
increased from $17,360 to $28,830 for a 66.1% increase. Gross profit increased from $4,946 to $8,110 for a 64.0% increase. Operating
expenses were higher by 80.5% as compared to the same period in fiscal 2018. The most notable growth in operating expenses is related
to our investment and focus in sales and marketing efforts to promote our brand as well as costs related to adding to the leadership
team as well as costs related to acquisitions. The latest acquisition was closed May 1, 2019. There was an operating loss of $657
for the nine months ended June 30, 2019, compared to operating income of $89 for the same period in fiscal 2018.
As of June 30, 2019,
we had $506 of cash and cash equivalents as compared to $773 of cash and cash equivalents at the end of fiscal 2018. In the first
nine months of fiscal 2019, we generated $1,567 in cash from operations as compared to $2,210 in the first nine months of fiscal
2018. Total capital expenditures increased in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 to $4,530 from $926 in the prior year period
as we began the expansion at our Evansville facility and invested in laboratory and IT equipment at all sites.
As of June 30, 2019,
we had a $572 balance on our $3,500 general line of credit, a $2,012 balance on our $4,445 construction line of credit and a $499
balance on our $1,429 equipment line of credit. As described herein, we incurred significant additional indebtedness in connection
with financing the Seventh Wave Acquisition and the Smithers Avanza Acquisition and expect to incur additional indebtedness through
borrowings under the construction and equipment lines of credit as we continue to undertake the Evansville, Indiana facilities
expansion.

Our Service revenue
increased 99.1% to $9,689 in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to $4,866 for the comparable prior-year period. Nonclinical
services revenues increased $4,521 due primarily to the acquisitions of Seventh Wave Laboratories and the Smithers Avanza Toxicology
Services, which amounted to an increase of $2,845 and $1,421, respectively. Legacy BASi nonclinical revenue increased $555 due
to an increase in demand for studies in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. Bioanalytical analysis revenues increased $373 due mainly
to the additional revenue related to the Seventh Wave Acquisition, which accounted for $509 of the increase, partially offset by
fewer samples analyzed during the third quarter of 2019 as compared to the comparable period last fiscal year. Other laboratory
services revenues were negatively impacted by lower pharmaceutical analysis revenue, partially offset by higher discovery service
revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 versus the comparable period in fiscal 2018. Archive revenue decreased by $70 also
reducing other laboratory services revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2019.

Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues for
the third quarter of fiscal 2019 was $7,732 or 71.2% of revenue, compared to $4,414, or 73.1% of revenue for the comparable prior-year
period.
Cost of Service revenue
as a percentage of Service revenue decreased to 72.3% during the third quarter of fiscal 2019 from 75.7% in the comparable period
in fiscal 2018. The principal cause of this decrease was the increase in the nonclinical service revenues that facilitated a higher
absorption of fixed cost in the period.
Cost of Products revenue
as a percentage of Products revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 remained relatively consistent with the comparable prior-year
period, decreasing slightly to 62.1% from 62.3%.
Operating Expenses
Selling expenses for
the three months ended June 30, 2019 increased 128.1% to $730 from $320 for the comparable period in fiscal 2018. This increase
is mainly due to higher salaries and benefits expense attributable to the additional sales employees from the Seventh Wave Laboratories
and Smithers Avanza acquisitions, plus higher outside services, travel and exhibition related expenses in the third quarter of
fiscal 2019 as compared to the prior-year period.
Research and development
expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 decreased 10.0% over the comparable period last fiscal year to $128 from $142.
General and administrative
expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 increased 111.0% to $2,521 from $1,195 for the comparable prior-year period. The
principal reasons for the increase included administrative cost of the operations acquired via the Seventh Wave Acquisition and
theSmithers Avanza Acquisition, higher corporate insurance expenses, increased travel expenses and consulting and legal fees associated
with the Smithers Avanza Acquisition, and increased stock-based compensation expense as a result of new grants to employees hired
as part of the Smithers Avanza Acquisition. The increase in expenses was partially offset by the release of a portion of the reserve
for lease-related liabilities that were legally time barred and positive effect from collection of fully reserved account receivable
balances.
Other Income (Expense)
Other expense for the
third quarter of fiscal 2019 was $176, as compared to other expense of $48 for the third quarter of fiscal 2018. The primary reason
for the change in expense was the increase in interest expense under our credit arrangements with First Internet Bank.
Income Taxes
Our effective income
tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was (0.17)% and (3.16)%, respectively. The current year expense
primarily relates to state income taxes. The prior year benefit relates to an Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) credit carryforward
that will be refundable due to AMT being repealed for corporations. This will be refundable for any tax year beginning after
2017 and before 2022 in an amount equal to 50% (100% for tax years beginning in 2021) of the excess minimum tax credit for the
tax year, over the amount of the credit allowable for the year against regular tax liability.
Net Income (Loss)
As a result of the
factors described above, net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2019 amounted to $426 compared to a net loss of $75 in the
comparable fiscal 2018 period.
Nine Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared
to Nine Months Ended June 30, 2018
Service and Product Revenues
Revenues for the nine months ended June
30, 2019 increased 66.1% to $28,830 as compared to $17,360 for the same period last fiscal year.
Our Service revenue
increased 77.2% to $25,555 in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 compared to $14,421 for the comparable prior-year period. Nonclinical
services revenues increased during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 due to an overall increase in the number of studies from
the prior year and additional revenue attributable to the Seventh Wave Laboratories and Smithers Avanza acquisitions of $7,736
and $1,421, respectively. Bioanalytical analysis revenues increased primarily due to the Seventh Wave Acquisition while legacy
BASi bioanalytical analysis revenue decreased slightly compared to the comparable prior-year period. Other laboratory services
revenues were positively impacted by higher pharmaceutical analysis and discovery services revenues in the first nine months of
fiscal 2019 versus the comparable period in fiscal 2018, while Archive revenue decreased by $75 in the first nine months of fiscal
2019 compared to the comparable period in fiscal 2018.

Sales in our Product
segment increased 11.4% in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 from $2,939 to $3,275 when compared to the same period in the prior
fiscal year. The increase stems primarily from increased sales of our Culex automated
in vivo
sampling instruments and increased
sales of our Analytical instruments in the first nine months of fiscal 2019.

Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues for
the first nine months of fiscal 2019 was $20,720 or 71.9% of revenue, compared to $12,414, or 71.5% of revenue for the prior year
period.
Cost of Service revenue
as a percentage of Service revenue decreased to 72.6% during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 from 73.6% in the comparable
period last year due to the mix of services provided for the period.
Cost of Product revenue
as a percentage of Product revenue in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 increased to 66.2% from 61.1% in the comparable prior
year period. This increase in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 is mainly due to the increase in material cost and adjustment
of selling price for
in vivo
products to stay competitive with the market.
Operating Expenses
Selling expenses for
the nine months ended June 30, 2019 increased 122.1% to $2,038 from $917 for the comparable fiscal 2018 period. This increase is
mainly due to higher salaries and benefits for the additional sales employees from the Seventh Wave Laboratories and Smithers Avanza
acquisitions, plus slightly higher travel expenses in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 as compared to the same period in the
prior year.
Research and development
expenses for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 decreased 7.7% over the comparable fiscal 2018 period to $397 from $430. The
decrease was primarily due to lower consulting expenses slightly offset by increased salary expense as we sourced certain consulting
services in-house.
General and administrative
expenses for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 increased 80.5% to $6,332 from $3,510 for the comparable fiscal 2018 period.
The increase was mainly driven by the expenses associated with the Seventh Wave Laboratories and Smithers Avanza operations plus
higher salaries and benefits expense attributable to the hiring of our new Chief Executive Officer effective January 14, 2019,
increased corporate insurance cost associated with the operations acquired via the Seventh Wave Acquisition, travel expense and
integration activities related to the Smithers Avanza Acquisition, increased consulting and professional fees associated with the
new entities and higher stock-based compensation expense attributable to grants to our CEO and option grants to existing and new
employees hired in connection with the Smithers Avanza Acquisition. The increase was partly offset by the release of a portion
of the reserve for lease-related liabilities that were legally time barred and the positive effect from the collection of fully
reserved account receivable balances.
Other Income (Expense)
Other expense for the
first nine months of fiscal 2019 increased to $421 from $144 for the same period of fiscal 2018. The primary reason for the change
in expense was the increase in interest expense under our credit arrangements with First Internet Bank, as we entered into new
loan agreements as part of the Seventh Wave Acquisition and Smithers Avanza Acquisition and entered into the construction and equipment
loans in connection with the Evansville facilities expansion.
Income Taxes
Our effective income
tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was (0.2)% and 95.9%, respectively. The current year expense primarily
relates to state income taxes. The prior year benefit relates to an Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) credit carryforward that will
be refundable due to AMT being repealed for corporations. This will be refundable for any tax year beginning after 2017 and before
2022 in an amount equal to 50% (100% for tax years beginning in 2021) of the excess minimum tax credit for the tax year, over the
amount of the credit allowable for the year against regular tax liability.
Net Income (Loss)
As a result of the
factors described above, net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 amounted to $1,080, compared to net income of $6 in the
comparable fiscal 2018 period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Comparative Cash Flow Analysis
At June 30, 2019, we
had cash and cash equivalents of $506, compared to $773 at September 30, 2018.
Net cash provided by
operating activities was $1,567 for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $2,210
for the nine months ended June 30, 2018. Contributing factors to our cash provided by operations in the first nine months of fiscal
2019 were noncash charges of $2,037 for depreciation and amortization, employee stock compensation expense of $206, net increase
in accounts payable of $664, increase in customer advances of $912 and accrued expenses of $709. These items were partly offset
by, among other items, a net increase in accounts receivable of $1,477, increase in prepaid expenses of $181, change in the provision
for doubtful accounts of $166 and unrealized foreign currency gain of $147 related to the release of portions of lease liabilities
from our former United Kingdom facility that are no longer payable.
Days’ sales in
accounts receivable increased to 66 days at June 30, 2019 from 51 days at September 30, 2018 due primarily to an increase in accounts
receivable and unbilled revenue balances related to the Smithers Avanza Acquisition as a result of timing of invoicing
.
It
is not unusual to see a fluctuation in the Company's pattern of days’ sales in accounts receivable. Customers may expedite
or delay payments from period-to-period for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, the timing of capital raised to
fund on-going research and development projects.
Included in operating
activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2018 are non-cash charges of $1,160 for depreciation, employee stock compensation
expense of $102, a net increase in customer advances of $1,406, and a net decrease in prepaid expenses of $311. These items were
partly offset by, among other items, a net increase in accounts receivable of $523.
Investing activities
used $5,801 in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 due mainly to capital expenditures of $4,530 and cash paid in acquisition of
$1,271 as compared to a usage of $924 in the first nine months of fiscal 2018. The investing activity in fiscal 2019 consisted
of investments in laboratory equipment and the Evansville expansion as well as new monitoring system.
Financing activities
provided $3,967 in the first nine months of fiscal 2019, as compared to $262 used during the first nine months of fiscal 2018.
The main sources of cash in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 were form borrowings on the Construction and Equipment loans for
$2,012 and $499 respectively, borrowings on the long-term loan of $2,180, and net cash borrowed against the Revolving Facility
of $572. The cash provided was partly offset by cash used for long-term debt payments of $1,089, debt issuance cost of $91 and
capital lease payments of $82. The main uses of cash in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 were for long-term debt payments of
$167 and capital lease payments of $96.
Capital Resources
Credit Facility
On June 23, 2017, we
entered into a Credit Agreement with First Internet Bank of Indiana (“FIB”), which Credit Agreement as of June 30,
2019 had been amended on July 2, 2018, September 6, 2018, September 28, 2018 and May 1, 2019 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”).
The Credit Agreement includes three term loans (the “Initial Term Loan”, “Subsequent Term Loan,” and "New
Term Loan," respectively), a revolving line of credit (the “Revolving Facility”), a construction draw loan (the
“Construction Draw Loan”), an equipment draw loan (the “Equipment Draw Loan”), and a capital expenditure
line of credit (the "Capex Line").
The Initial Term Loan
for $4,500 bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.99%, with monthly principal and interest payments of approximately $33. The Initial
Term Loan matures in June 2022. The balance on the Initial Term Loan at June 30, 2019 was $4,048. We used the proceeds from the
Initial Term Loan to satisfy our indebtedness with Huntington Bank and terminated the related interest rate swap.
The July 2, 2018 amendment
to the Credit Facility provided the Company with the Subsequent Term Loan in the amount of $5,500, the proceeds of which were used
to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the acquisition of Seventh Wave Laboratories LLC. Amounts outstanding under the
Subsequent Term Loan bear interest at a fixed per annum rate of 5.06%, with monthly principal and interest payments equal to $78.
The Subsequent Term Loan matures July 2, 2023 and the balance on the Subsequent Term Loan at June 30, 2019 was $4,887.
The Revolving Facility
provides a line of credit for up to $3,500 which the Company may borrow from time to time, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement,
including as may be limited by the amount of the Company’s outstanding eligible receivables. The Revolving Credit Facility
bears interest at the Prime Rate (generally defined as the highest rate identified as the “Prime Rate” in The Wall
Street Journal “Money Rates” column on the date the interest rate is to be determined, or if that date is not a publication
date, on the publication date immediately preceding) less Twenty-five (25) Basis Points (0.25%). The balance on the Revolving Facility
was $572 and $0 as of June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively. We must pay accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding
balance under the Revolving Facility on a monthly basis.
The September 28, 2018
amendment provided the Company with the Construction Draw Loan in a principal amount not to exceed $4,445 and the Equipment Draw
Loan in a principal amount not to exceed $1,429. The Construction Draw Loan and Equipment Draw Loan each mature on March 28, 2025.
As of June 30, 2019, there was a $2,012 balance on our Constructoin Draw Loan and a $499 balance on our Equipment Draw Loan.
Subject to certain
conditions precedent, a Construction Draw Loan and an Equipment Draw Loan each permit the Company to obtain advances aggregating
up to the maximum principal amount available for such loan through March 28, 2020. Amounts outstanding under these loans bear interest
at a fixed per annum rate of 5.20%. The Construction Draw Loan and the Equipment Draw Loan each require monthly payments of accrued
interest on amounts outstanding through March 28, 2020, and thereafter monthly payments of principal and interest on amounts then
outstanding through maturity.
In connection with
the Smithers Avanza Acquisition, on May 1, 2019, the Company and FIB entered into a fourth amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”)
to the Credit Agreement to (i) extend the term of the Revolving Facility, (ii) provide the Company with an additional term loan
(the “New Term Loan”) in the amount of $1,271, the proceeds of which were used to fund the cash consideration for the
Smithers Avanza Acquisition, and (iii) provide for an additional line of credit in the principal amount of $1,100 (the “Capex
Line”), which the Company may borrow from time to time, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement. The New Term Loan and
the Capex Line mature November 1, 2025 and June 30, 2020, respectively. As of June 30, 2019, the balances on the New Term Loan
and Capex Line were $1,271 and $460, respectively.
Amounts outstanding
under the New Term Loan bear interest at a fixed per annum rate of 4.63%, while interest accrues on the principal balance of the
Capex Line at a floating per annum rate equal to the sum of the Prime Rate plus Fifty Basis Points (0.5%), which rate shall change
concurrently with the Prime Rate. Commencing June 1, 2019, the New Term Loan requires monthly interest only payments until December
1, 2019, from which time payments of principal and interest in monthly installments of $20 become due, with all accrued but unpaid
interest, cost and expenses due and payable at the maturity date. The Company is required to pay accrued but unpaid interest on
the Capex Line on a monthly basis commencing on June 1, 2019, until June 30, 2020, at which time the entire balance of the Capex
Line, together with accrued but unpaid interest, costs and expenses, shall be due and payable in full.
The Company’s
obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by BAS Evansville, Inc. (“BASEV”), Seventh Wave Laboratories,
LLC (“Seventh Wave”), as well as BASi Gaithersburg LLC (“BASi Gaithersburg”), each a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement and BASEV’s, Seventh Wave’s and BASi Gaithersburg’s
obligations under their respective Guaranties are secured by first priority security interests in substantially all of the assets
of the Company, BASEV, Seventh Wave and BASi Gaithersburg, respectively, as well as mortgages on the Company’s and BASEV’s
facilities in West Lafayette, Indiana and Evansville, Indiana, respectively, and pledges of the Company’s ownership interests
in its subsidiaries.
The Credit Agreement
contains various restrictive covenants, including restrictions on the Company's ability to dispose of assets, make acquisitions
or investments, incur debt or liens, make distributions to shareholders or repurchase outstanding stock, enter into related party
transactions and make capital expenditures, other than upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement. The
Credit Agreement also requires us to maintain (i) a minimum debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.0 for the period
ended June 30, 2019 (with ratios ranging from 1.25 to 1.0 to 1.15 to 1.0 for the periods thereafter) and (ii) beginning with the
quarter ended March 31, 2020, a cash flow coverage ratio whereby, the ratio of the Company’s total funded debt (as defined
in the Credit Agreement) as of the last day of each fiscal quarter to its EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the 12
months ended on such date may not exceed 4.50 to 1.00 (5.0 to 1.0 for the period ended March 31, 2020). Upon an event of default,
which includes certain customary events such as, among other things, a failure to make required payments when due, a failure to
comply with covenants, certain bankruptcy and insolvency events, and defaults under other material indebtedness, FIB may cease
advancing funds, increase the interest rate on outstanding balances, accelerate amounts outstanding, terminate the agreement and
foreclose on all collateral. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2019. The Company has also agreed
to obtain a life insurance policy in an amount not less than $2,000 for its President and Chief Executive Officer and to provide
FIB an assignment of such life insurance policy as collateral.
On January 28, 2015,
the Company entered into a lease agreement with Cook Biotech, Inc. with an initial lease term of 10 years. The lease agreement
has and will provide the Company with additional cash in the range of approximately $50 per month during the first year of the
initial term to approximately $57 per month during the final year of the initial term.
The Company’s
sources of liquidity for fiscal 2019 are expected to consist primarily of cash generated from operations, cash on-hand and additional
borrowings available under our Credit Agreement, as amended May 1, 2019. Management believes that the resources described above
will be sufficient to fund operations, planned capital expenditures and working capital requirements over the next twelve months.
