Item 2.

Date and Manner of Acquisition

         On June 30, 2003, PI Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bioanalytical Systems, Inc. (the “Registrant”), merged with and into PharmaKinetics Laboratories, Inc. (“PKLB”). As a result of this merger, PKLB became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant. Prior to the merger, on May 26, 2003, the Registrant had converted a Secured Convertible Revolving Note issued by PKLB to the Registrant into 4,992,300 shares of PKLB common stock. This conversion resulted in the Registrant owning approximately 67% of the shares of PKLB common stock outstanding at the time of the merger.

Assets Acquired

         As a result of the merger, the Registrant acquired all of the assets of PKLB. These assets consist primarily of real estate, equipment, accounts receivable and other current assets. PKLB used these assets in the contract research organization business providing a range of clinical research and development services to the worldwide pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries in the development of prescription and non-prescription drug products. The Registrant intends to continue to use the assets acquired in the merger in the contract research organization business. The Credit Agreement that the Registrant has entered into with The Provident Bank requires that the real estate acquired from PKLB in the merger be sold for its fair market value within 180 days of the closing of the merger.

Consideration

         Pursuant to the merger:

 
        (a)        each holder of PKLB common shares (other than the Registrant) is entitled to receive one-twelfth (1/12) of one common share of the Registrant for each share of PKLB common stock they held as of the effective date of the merger;

 
        (b)        each holder of PKLB Class B Convertible Preferred Stock is entitled to receive one-twelfth (1/12) of one common share of the Registrant for each share of PKLB common stock into which their shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock were convertible as of the effective date of the merger. Each share of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible into 1.00062 shares of PKLB common stock as of the effective date of the merger; and

        (c)        each holder of PKLB Class A Convertible Preferred Stock is entitled to receive a 6% Subordinated Convertible Note due 2009 issued by the Registrant with a principal amount equal to $4.80 per share of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock.

         Holders of PKLB common stock and Class B Convertible Preferred Stock will receive a total of approximately 228,857 common shares of the Registrant. The closing price of the common shares of the Registrant on June 30, 2003 was $2.80. The aggregate principal amount of the 6% Subordinated Convertible Note due 2009 issued by the Registrant is $3,999,840. The notes are convertible into common shares of the Registrant at any time after one year after the date of issuance at a price of $16.00 per share. If all of the notes are converted on the first anniversary of their issuance, the Registrant would issue approximately 249,990 additional common shares to PKLB shareholders in connection with the merger.

         The determination of the amount of consideration set forth above was based upon several considerations, including the average weighted share values of both PKLB and the Registrant, the value of the assets of PKLB, and the continuing decline in the value of PKLB common shares.
