Item
2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
The
information in this Current Report is being furnished and shall not be deemed
“filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended.
On July
30, 2009, Abaxis, Inc. announced its financial results for the first fiscal
quarter ended June 30, 2009 and certain other information. A copy of
Abaxis’ press release announcing these financial results and certain other
information is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
Use of
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To
supplement the financial statements presented in accordance with United States
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Abaxis uses non-GAAP measures
of operating income per share. This non-GAAP financial presentation
is not a measurement of performance under generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America. Management uses this
measure in comparing Abaxis’ operating results with historical performance and
believes it provides meaningful and comparable information to management and
investors to assist in their review of Abaxis’ performance relative to prior
periods and its competitors.
