Item 3.01.   Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On July 15, 2010, Bioanalytical Systems, Inc. (the "Company") received a letter from the NASDAQ Listing Qualification Department (the "Letter") stating that the Company has failed to maintain at least a $1.00 minimum bid price for its common shares (the "Minimum Bid Requirement") as required for continued listing of the Company's common shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market..

The Letter further stated that, under the listing rules, the Company has until January 11, 2011 to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement.  If, at any time prior to January 11, 2011, the bid price of the common shares closes at $1.00 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Company will be in compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement.  The Company intends to actively evaluate and monitor the bid price for its common shares between now and January 11, 2011, and consider implementation of various options available to the Company if its common shares do not trade at a level that is likely to regain compliance.  If the Company's minimum bid does not increase to $1.00 per share or more for 10 consecutive business days prior to January 11, 2011, the Company could be delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market, in which case the common shares may be traded over-the-counter.
