NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, and other information included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of BioScrip, Inc. (the “Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2005 (the “Form 10-K”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2006. The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

     In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, statement of stockholders’ equity and statements of cash flows for the periods presented have been included. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2006. The accounting policies followed for interim financial reporting are similar to those disclosed in Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Form 10-K.

     Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no material effect on the Company’s previously reported consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 2 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

     The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted income (loss) per common share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

		Three Months Ended								Nine Months Ended
		September 30,								September 30,
		2006				2005				2006				2005
Numerator:
Net (loss) income		$	(3,389	)		$	641			$	(10,254	)		$	(1,232	)
Denominator – Basic:
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding			37,385				36,932				37,270				33,157
Basic (loss) income per common share		$	(0.09	)		$	0.02			$	(0.28	)		$	(0.04	)
Denominator – Diluted:
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding			37,385				36,932				37,270				33,157
Common share equivalents of outstanding stock options			—				517				—				—
Total diluted shares outstanding			37,385				37,449				37,270				33,157
Diluted (loss) income per common share		$	(0.09	)		$	0.02			$	(0.28	)		$	(0.04	)

     The net loss per common share for the three month period ended September 30, 2006 and the nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 excludes the effect of common stock equivalents, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 3 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

     At September 30, 2006, the Company has a number of stock-based employee compensation plans (the “Plans”) pursuant to which incentive stock options (“ISOs”), non-qualified stock options (“NQSOs”), restricted stock and performance share awards may be granted to

employees and non-employee directors. As of September 30, 2006, approximately 2.7 million shares remain available for grant under the Plans.

     Prior to January 1, 2006, those plans were accounted for under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”), and related interpretations, as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS 123”), issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Under APB 25, only the intrinsic value of stock options was recognized in the Statement of Operations for periods prior to January 1, 2006. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123(R)”), using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under that transition method, compensation cost recognized during 2006 includes: (i) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of, January 1, 2006 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, and (ii) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). Results for prior periods have not been restated.

     Options granted under the Plans typically vest over a three-year period and, in certain limited instances, fully vest upon a change in control of the Company. In addition, such options are generally exercisable for 10 years after the date of grant, subject to earlier termination in certain circumstances. The exercise price of NQSOs is generally equal to not less than the fair market value on the date of grant. The exercise price of ISOs granted under the Plans will not be less than 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant (110% for ISOs granted to a stockholder holding 10% or more of the Company’s common stock).

     The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The expected life of options granted is derived from previous history of stock exercises from the grant date and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination assumptions under the valuation model. The Company has never paid dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future.

		Three Months Ended								Nine Months Ended
		September 30,								September 30,
		2006				2005				2006				2005
Expected volatility			—				64.3	%			52.0	%			66.1	%
Risk-free interest rate			—				4.25	%			4.50	%			4.25	%
Expected life of options			—			3.7 years				4.5 years				3.9 years
Dividend rate			—				—				—				—
Fair value of options			—			$	3.02			$	3.45			$	3.20

     No stock options or other equity-based incentive grants were made during the three months ended September 30, 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company made a grant of 100,000 shares of restricted stock with a fair market value of $4.45 per share.

     As a result of adopting SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006, the Company incurred stock-based compensation expense of $0.5 million and $1.6 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006, respectively, related to the grant of stock options, and $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 related to a restricted stock grant.

     The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share had the Company applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to options granted under the Company’s stock option plans in all periods presented prior to adopting SFAS 123(R). For purposes of this pro forma disclosure, the value of the options is estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing formula and is amortized to expense on a straight line basis over the options’ vesting periods (in thousands, except per share amounts).

		Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
		September 30, 2005				September 30, 2005
Net income (loss), as reported		$	641			$	(1,232	)
Plus: Stock award-based employee compensation included in reported net income (loss), net of related tax effect			36				46
Less: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of related tax effect			(518	)			(1,293	)
Pro forma net income (loss)		$	159			$	(2,479	)
Earnings (loss) per share:
Basic – as reported		$	0.02			$	(0.04	)
Basic – pro forma		$	0.00			$	(0.07	)
Diluted – as reported		$	0.02			$	(0.04	)
Diluted – pro forma		$	0.00			$	(0.07	)

     As a result of the adoption of SFAS 123(R) the Company now classifies cash flows from tax benefits in excess of the tax deductions of the compensation cost as financing cash inflows. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company presented the tax benefit resulting from the exercise of stock options as a cash inflow from operating activities in the Statement of Cash Flows. Under the modified prospective method, prior periods are not restated to reflect adoption of SFAS 123(R).

     Stock option activity under the Plans for the first nine months of 2006 is as follows:

						Weighted				Aggregate				Weighted Average
						Average				Intrinsic Value				Remaining
		Options				Exercise Price				(millions)				Contractual Life
Balance, December 31, 2005			5,756,806			$	7.62

Balance, September 30, 2006			4,391,183			$	7.86			$	0.3			6.2 years
Outstanding options less expected forfeitures at September 30, 2006			4,332,542			$	7.87			$	0.3			6.1 years
Exercisable at September 30, 2006			3,657,706			$	8.05			$	0.3			5.7 years

     Restricted stock award activity under the Plans for the first nine months of 2006 is as follows:

										Weighted Average
		Restricted				Weighted Average Award				Remaining Recognition
		Stock				Date Fair Value				Period
Balance, December 31, 2005			136,000			$	3.24

Canceled			-0-			$	0.00
Balance, September 30, 2006			236,000			$	3.76			0.9 years

     Stock option activity for non-vested shares under the Plans for the first nine months of 2006 is as follows:

						Weighted Average
						Grant-Date Fair
		Options				Value
Balance, December 31, 2005			1,087,599			$	4.50
Granted			246,250				3.45

Forfeited			(23,706	)			4.31
Balance, September 30, 2006			733,477			$	3.87

     Options outstanding as of September 30, 2006 expire on various dates ranging from December 9, 2006 through May 23, 2016. The following table outlines the Company’s outstanding and exercisable stock options as of September 30, 2006:

		Options Outstanding												Options Exercisable
										Weighted
						Weighted				Average								Weighted
Range of Options		Options				Average				Remaining				Options				Average

			4,391,183			$	7.86			6.2 years					3,657,706			$	8.05

     As of September 30, 2006, there was $1.5 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years. The total intrinsic value (the amount by which the market value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the option) of options exercised for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $0.4 million.

     As compensation expense for options granted is recorded over the vesting period of options, future stock-based compensation expense may be greater as additional options are granted.

NOTE 4 – OPERATING SEGMENTS

     The Company operates in two reportable segments: (1) Specialty Services, which is comprised of specialty pharmacy distribution and clinical management services; and (2) PBM Services, which is comprised of fully integrated pharmacy benefit management and traditional mail services. Corporate overhead is allocated between the two segments based on adjusted revenue for each segment.

NOTE 5 – ACQUISITIONS

Chronimed Inc. Acquisition

     On March 12, 2005 the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Chronimed Inc. (“Chronimed”) in a stock-for-stock transaction pursuant to which each share of Chronimed common stock was exchanged for 1.12 shares of the Company’s common stock. The results of operations of Chronimed have been included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations since March 12, 2005. The acquisition of Chronimed added 28 specialty pharmacies throughout the U.S. to the Company’s existing pharmacies.

     The aggregate purchase price paid for Chronimed was $105.3 million, including direct expenses of $3.7 million associated with the acquisition. The 14,380,551 shares of common stock exchanged and 2,612,146 stock options assumed in the acquisition were valued using the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the period beginning two days before and ending two days after the revised merger agreement was announced. The purchase price has been allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities based on management’s estimates of their fair value and an independent outside valuation.

     The following unaudited consolidated pro forma financial information for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 has been prepared assuming Chronimed was acquired as of January 1, 2005. The number of basic and diluted shares of common stock has been adjusted assuming an exchange ratio of 1.12 shares of common stock of the Company exchanged for each outstanding share of Chronimed common stock. The pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been realized had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2005 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Northland Medical Pharmacy Acquisition

     On October 7, 2005 the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of JPD, Inc. d/b/a Northland Medical Pharmacy (“Northland”), a community-based specialty pharmacy located in Columbus, Ohio, for approximately $12.0 million in cash plus a potential earn-out payment contingent on Northland achieving certain future performance benchmarks in 2006. Had that acquisition taken place on January 1, 2005, the Company’s consolidated sales and income would not have been significantly different from the reported amounts at September 30, 2005.

Intravenous Therapy Services, Inc. Acquisition

     On March 1, 2006 the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Intravenous Therapy Services, Inc. (“ITS”), a specialty home infusion company located in Burbank, California, for approximately $13.1 million in cash, which resulted in approximately $10.6 million of goodwill, plus a potential earn-out payment contingent on ITS achieving certain future performance benchmarks. Had this acquisition taken place on January 1, 2006, the Company’s consolidated sales and income would not have been significantly different from the reported amounts at September 30, 2006.

NOTE 7 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June, 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 100. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements. FIN 48 will result in increased relevance and comparability in financial reporting of income taxes. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and the Company will adopt FIN 48 in the first quarter of 2007. We are currently assessing the requirements of FIN 48 and the impact of adoption.

     In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“SFAS 157”), Fair Value Measurements, to eliminate diversity in practice by defining fair value, establishing a framework for measuring fair value and enhancing disclosures about fair value measures required under other accounting pronouncements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently assessing the requirements of SFAS 157 and the impact, if any, of adoption.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 (the “Form 10-K”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as well as our unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2006 (this “Report”).

     This Report contains statements not purely historical and which may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including statements regarding our expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. These forward looking statements may include statements relating to our business development activities, sales and marketing efforts, the status of material contractual arrangements, including the negotiation or re-negotiation of such arrangements, future capital expenditures, the effects of regulation and competition on our business, future operating performance and the results, benefits and risks associated with the integration of acquired companies. Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, involve risks and uncertainties and that actual results may differ materially from those possible results discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. These factors include, among other things, risks associated with risk-based or “capitated” contracts, increased government regulation related to the health care and insurance industries in general and more specifically, pharmacy benefit management and specialty pharmaceutical distribution organizations, the existence of complex laws and regulations relating to our business, changes in reimbursement rates from government and private payors, and increased competition from our competitors, including competitors with greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources. This Report contains information regarding important factors that could cause such differences.

     You should not place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements as they speak only as of the date they are made. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement even if experience or future changes make it clear that any projected results expressed or implied therein will not be realized.

Business Overview

     We provide comprehensive specialty pharmacy services and pharmacy benefit management (“PBM”) services. Our specialty pharmacy distribution and clinical management services (collectively, “Specialty Services”) include distributing specialty and traditional prescription medications (both injectable and infusible), coordinating customer benefits and providing specialized therapy management services for people with certain health conditions, particularly those with potentially life threatening or debilitating diseases or genetic disorders requiring specialty medications. Our PBM services include network claims processing, benefit design consultation, drug utilization review and formulary management. We work with patients, physicians and pharmaceutical manufacturers. We also work directly with a variety of health insurers, including HMO’s, indemnity plans and PPO’s, managed care organizations, other insurance companies, and, to a lesser extent, labor unions, self-funded employer groups, government agencies (including Medicaid and Medicare) and other self-funded plan sponsors (collectively, “Plan Sponsors”), as well as through third-party administrators. We work with all of these constituents in a concerted effort to improve clinical and economic outcomes while enhancing the quality of life for the individuals living with chronic conditions.

     Our services are reported under two operating segments: (i) Specialty Services; and (ii) PBM and traditional mail services (collectively, “PBM Services”).

     Our Specialty Services include the distribution of biotech and other high cost injectable, oral and infusable prescription medications and the provision of pharmacy-related clinical management services, product administration and disease state programs. Specialty Services are also offered to physicians, in a variety of practice and/or hospital settings, on behalf of their patients. Many of these physicians have network affiliations with Plan Sponsors, who in turn have a relationship with us.

     Infusion therapies are generally provided to patients requiring immunological blood products, parenteral nutrition products, infused antibiotics and other similar therapies. We strive to maximize therapy outcomes through strict adherence to the clinical guidelines or protocols for a particular prescription therapy while at the same time managing the costs of such therapies on behalf of a Plan Sponsor or patient. Unlike patients on other therapies, infusion patients have their therapies administered intravenously either at home by IV certified nurses, in physician’s offices or at our captive infusion center.

     Historically, our PBM Services were offered to Plan Sponsors and were designed to promote a broad range of cost-effective, clinically appropriate pharmacy benefit management services through our network of retail pharmacies and our dedicated traditional mail service distribution facility. Over the past several years we have focused on building our Specialty Services for strategic growth, and have lost a significant amount of PBM Services business, particularly the recent loss of our contracts with Centene Corporation, which will negatively impact 2006 revenue. Consequently, the PBM Services’ managed care business has decreased as a percentage of total revenue.

     As part of our PBM Services, we also provide pharmacy discount card services to individual consumers via agreements with numerous marketing organizations. These are 100 percent copay programs that provide significant savings to a full cost, cash paying customer at retail pharmacies throughout the United States and at BioScrip’s own mail service pharmacy.

     As part of our business we develop and maintain existing relationships with pharmaceutical manufacturers through a dedicated pharmaceutical relations department. These efforts have been concentrated on the creation and execution of new drug distribution and service contracts in our core specialty therapeutic areas, including cancer, multiple sclerosis, HIV, immune deficiency and other chronic illnesses and life threatening diseases. The specialty management services that we provide through our Specialty Services segment are attractive to the pharmaceutical manufacturer community, demonstrated by recent successes in being selected for participation in national specialty distribution networks for newly approved, high-cost medications. These new contracts provide new sales and revenue opportunities which we began to realize in 2005 and expect to continue in 2006 and beyond.

     We are the sole vendor for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ Competitive Acquisition Program (“CAP”) for certain Part B drugs and biologicals that commenced July 1, 2006. The CAP is a voluntary program that offers enrolled physicians the option to acquire many of the Part B drugs from us, the only approved CAP vendor, thus reducing the time they spend buying and billing for drugs. The CAP applies only to Part B drugs administered to Medicare beneficiaries in the physician’s office and does not apply to drugs included in the Medicare prescription drug benefit (Medicare Part D).

Critical Accounting Estimates

     Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In preparing our financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results may differ from these estimates, and different assumptions or conditions may yield different estimates. The accounting policies followed for interim financial reporting are similar to those disclosed in Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Form 10-K. Material updates to policies disclosed in the Form 10-K are discussed below.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

     We adopted the fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payments effective January 1, 2006 under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123(R)”), issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under that transition method, compensation cost recognized during 2006 includes: (i) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS 123”), and (ii) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). Results for prior periods have not been restated.

     Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) we accounted for employee stock and stock-based compensation plans through the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”), and related Interpretations, as permitted by SFAS 123, and as such, generally recognized no compensation expense for employee stock options. As a result of adopting SFAS 123(R) as of January 1, 2006, our loss before income taxes for the first nine months of 2006 increased $1.7 million, or $0.05 per share, compared to continuing to account for share-based compensation under APB 25.

     As of September 30, 2006, there was $1.5 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under our stock option plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years.

Results of Operations

     The table below presents the reconciliation between our GAAP (reported) and non-GAAP pro forma consolidated results, assuming the acquisition of Chronimed had occurred on January 1, 2005. We believe this information to be more helpful in gaining an understanding of future results and trends. In the following Management’s Discussion and Analysis we provide discussion of reported results for the third quarter 2006 compared to the same period a year ago. Discussion of nine month results is on a pro forma basis as set forth in the following table for enhanced comparability to prior year due to the acquisition of Chronimed on March 12, 2005 (in thousands, except share and per share amounts).

     Revenue. Revenue for the third quarter of 2006 was $280.9 million compared to $294.0 million in the third quarter of 2005. Specialty Services revenue for the third quarter of 2006 was $219.9 million, an increase of $23.8 million from the same period a year ago, primarily attributable to sales of new specialty drugs, strong growth in infused products, the acquisitions of JPD, Inc d/b/a Northland Medical Pharmacy (“Northland”) in October, 2005 and Intravenous Therapy Services, Inc. (“ITS”) in March 2006. PBM Services revenue for the third quarter of 2006 was $61.0 million, a decrease of

$36.9 million from the same period a year ago, primarily attributable to the loss of our PBM contract with Centene Corporation, which was partially offset by increased volume in our traditional mail business.

     Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $860.2 million compared to $883.1 million on a pro forma basis for the same period in 2005. Specialty Services revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $634.1 million, an increase of $40.9 million, or 6.9%, from $593.2 million on a pro forma basis for the same period a year ago, primarily due to sales of new specialty drugs, strong growth in infused products and the acquisition of Northland in October 2005 and ITS in March 2006. This increase was partially offset by the loss of Chronimed’s Aetna contract which terminated on February 28, 2005. PBM Services revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $226.1 million, a decrease of $63.8 million, or 22.0%, from the same period a year ago on a pro forma basis primarily due to the decline in revenue in the PBM Services segment as a result of the loss of our customer Centene Corporation, which was partially offset by increased volume in our traditional mail business.

     Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit. Cost of revenue for the third quarter of 2006 was $251.2 million compared to $262.3 million for the same period in 2005. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue declined from 10.8% in the third quarter of 2005 to 10.6% in the third quarter of 2006. The gross margin rate decline is the result of program changes associated with the implementation of Medicare Part D on January 1, 2006, and industry-wide reimbursement pressures.

     Cost of revenue decreased $16.1 million, or 2.0%, to $771.4 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 from $787.5 million on a pro forma basis for the same period in 2005. Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $88.8 million, a decrease of $6.8 million, or 7.1%, from $95.6 million on a pro forma basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. We experienced a decline in gross margin as a percentage of revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to 10.3% compared to gross margin of 10.8% on a pro forma basis for the same period last year, primarily as a result of program changes associated with the implementation of Medicare Part D on January 1, 2006, and industry-wide reimbursement pressures.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) for the third quarter of 2006 increased $2.7 million to $29.2 million, or 10.4% of total revenue, from $26.5 million, or 9.0% of total revenue, for the third quarter of 2005. The increase in SG&A is due primarily to $1.8 million in ongoing operating expenses associated with acquisitions made since September 30, 2005, $0.6 million in stock option expense due to the adoption of FAS 123(R) at January 1, 2006 and $0.3 million in severance expense related to staffing reductions.

     SG&A expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased $9.4 million to $88.2 million, or 10.3% of total revenue, from $78.8 million, or 8.9% of total revenue, on a pro forma basis for the same period in 2005. The increase in SG&A is primarily due to $3.9 million in operating expenses associated with acquisitions made by us since September 30, 2005, $2.2 million in severance expense related to the departure of former senior management and general staff reduction, $1.7 million in stock option expense due to the adoption of FAS 123(R) at January 1, 2006 and $1.6 million in general operating expense increases.

     Bad Debt Expense. For the third quarter of 2006 bad debt expense increased to $2.8 million compared to $1.5 million for the same period a year ago. The bad debt reserve methodology is consistent with that utilized for the year ended 2005, and consequently we are providing reserves at a higher rate than last year due to continued lower than expected collections.

     For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, bad debt expense increased $5.2 million to $9.5 million compared to $4.3 million on a pro forma basis for the same period of 2005. The increased bad debt expense reflects a higher bad debt accrual rate due to continued lower than expected collections. We have added resources and are enhancing our collection process to improve receivable collection performance.

     Amortization of Intangibles. For the third quarter of 2006 we recorded amortization of intangibles of $1.6 million compared to $1.8 million for the same period in 2005. The decrease in 2006 was primarily the result of the write-off of certain intangible assets in 2005.

     The amortization of intangibles for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $4.9 million compared to $5.6 million on a pro forma basis for the same period a year ago. The decrease was primarily the result of the write-off of certain intangible assets in 2005.

     Merger and Integration Expenses. There were no integration or other merger-related expenses incurred during the third quarter of 2006 compared to $1.0 million of those expenses for the same period in 2005. Integration and other merger-related

expenses during the prior year period include expenses incurred to consolidate the acquisition of Chronimed, including severance and re-branding costs.

     Integration and other merger-related expense decreased to $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $4.1 million on a pro forma basis in the same period of 2005. The integration expense for 2005 includes pre-merger expenses recorded by Chronimed.

     Net Interest Expense. Net interest expense was $0.9 million for the third quarter of 2006 compared to less than $0.1 million for the same period a year ago. This interest expense is associated with the line of credit which was used to fund the acquisition of ITS, operating losses and increased working capital needs associated with the CAP progam.

     Net interest expense was $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $0.1 million on a pro forma basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase is principally the result of additional borrowings used to fund the acquisition of ITS, operating losses and increased working capital requirements. Interest expense for the line of credit was partially offset by interest income received on short term investments and money market accounts in the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

     Provision for Income Taxes. A $1.5 million tax benefit was recorded for the third quarter of 2006 compared to $0.4 million for the same period a year ago. The effective tax rate was 30.7% for the third quarter of 2006 and 36.0% for the same period a year ago.

     The pro forma basis tax rate was 39.0%, resulting in a pro forma income tax benefit of $1.3 million for the first nine months of 2005, based on the pro forma loss before taxes compared to an effective tax rate of 35.8% resulting in an income tax benefit of $5.7 million for the first nine months of 2006.

     Net (Loss) Income and (Loss) Income Per Share. Net loss for the third quarter of 2006 was $3.4 million, or $0.09 per share, compared to net income of $0.6 million, or $0.02 per share, for the same period last year. The decline in net income is due to items previously discussed in our Results of Operations.

     Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $10.3 million, or $0.28 per share. This compares to net loss of $2.0 million, or $0.05 per share, on a pro forma basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Cash and cash equivalents were $0.2 million at September 30, 2006 as compared to $1.5 million at December 31, 2005. At September 30, 2006 there was $45.6 million of outstanding bank borrowings under our revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) with HFG Healthco-4 LLC, an affiliate of Healthcare Finance Group, Inc. (“HFG”), as compared to $7.4 million at December 31, 2005.

     Cash used by operating activities was $23.4 million in the first nine months of 2006, as compared to $12.3 million during the first nine months of 2005. The cash used by operating activities was largely due to our $10.2 million net loss in 2006 combined with an increase in deferred taxes of $3.9 million offset by depreciation and amortization of $3.2 million and $4.9 million, respectively. Working capital used $28.9 million in cash in the first nine months of 2006 primarily due to lower claims payable resulting from the loss of the Centene Corporation PBM Services business and increases in accounts receivable, inventory and prepaid expenses and other current assets offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

     Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $17.6 million, primarily due to the acquisition of ITS on March 1, 2006, for $13.1 million in cash and purchases of property and equipment of $4.7 million. This compares to $15.3 million provided by investing activities in the same period in 2005, primarily from cash on hand acquired with the acquisition of Chronimed.

     For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 net cash provided by financing activities was $39.7 million compared to net cash used in financing activities of $6.0 million for the same period in 2005. Outstanding borrowings increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 primarily as a result of the acquisition of ITS, funding operating losses and additional working capital requirements.

     At September 30, 2006 we had working capital of $49.8 million compared to $67.5 million at December 31, 2005.

     The Facility was increased in July 2006 to provide for borrowings up to $75 million at the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus the applicable margin. Effective September 30, 2006, the Facility was extended for four years through November 1, 2010. The Facility permits us to request an increase in the amount available for borrowing up to $100 million, as well as converting a portion of any outstanding borrowings from a Revolving Loan into a Term Loan. The borrowing base utilizes receivables balances and other related collateral as security under the Facility.

     The Facility contains various covenants that, among other things, require us to maintain certain financial ratios, as defined in the agreements governing the Facility. We were in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2006.

     As we continue to grow, we anticipate that our working capital needs will also continue to increase. We believe that our cash on hand, together with funds available under the current Facility and cash expected to be generated from operating activities will be sufficient to fund our anticipated working capital, IT systems investments and other cash needs for the next twelve months as our business is currently configured. Growth in the CAP program may require an increase in our line of credit to fund additional working capital requirements.

     We also may pursue joint venture arrangements, business acquisitions and other transactions designed to expand our business, which we would expect to fund from borrowings under the Facility, other future indebtedness or, if appropriate, the private and/or public sale or exchange of our debt or equity securities.

     At December 31, 2005 we had Federal net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”) of approximately $14.0 million, which will begin expiring in 2017. If the NOLs are not utilized in the year they are available they may be utilized in a future year to the extent they have not expired.

Other Matters

     We make available through our website, www.bioscrip.com, access to our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, any amendments to those reports (when applicable), and other reports filed with the SEC. Such access is free of charge and is available as soon as reasonably practicable after such information is filed with the SEC. This information may also be accessed through the SEC website at www.sec.gov.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

     Exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates to our outstanding debt. At September 30, 2006 we did not have any long-term debt. We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily through our borrowing activities under our line of credit discussed in Item 2 of this report. A 10% increase in interest rates would not have a significant effect on our interest expense. Interest rate risk on our investments is immaterial due to our level of investment dollars. Foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk, or other market risks (e.g. equity price) are not present. We do not use financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes and are not a party to any derivative financial instruments.

     At September 30, 2006, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, claims payable, payables to plan sponsors and others and line of credit approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

     Because management does not believe that our exposure to interest rate market risk is material at this time, we have not developed or implemented a strategy to manage this market risk through the use of derivative financial instruments or otherwise. We will assess the significance of interest rate market risk from time to time and will develop and implement strategies to manage that market risk as appropriate.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

     We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

     In connection with the preparation of our Form 10-K, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure

controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13d-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based on that evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls as of December 31, 2005 were not effective as a result of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. The material weaknesses identified by management were in the areas of information technology, revenue recognition and accounts receivable. The material weaknesses were disclosed in Item 9A of our 2005 Form 10-K.

     Based on its evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting as September 30, 2006, management has evaluated and verified through testing that controls deficiencies reported in 2005 Form 10-K related to Accounts Receivable have been effectively remediated and are operating effectively as of September 30, 2006. Specifically, the controls related to Accounts Receivable which have been remediated as of September 30, 2006 are controls over cash receipts and posting and allowances for doubtful accounts. Management has identified no new material weaknesses other than those described in the 2005 Form 10-K. Although progress has been made to address the remaining material weaknesses, management has concluded that the material weaknesses related to Information Technology and Revenue Recognition disclosed in our 2005 Form 10-K continue to exist as of the quarter ended September 30, 2006, and therefore, has also concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2006 for the same reasons disclosed in the 2005 Form 10-K.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

     In light of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting which continue to exist as of September 30, 2006, management performed additional analysis and procedures to ensure the consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that the consolidated financial statements and schedules included in this Form 10-Q fairly present in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

     Management, with oversight from the Audit Committee, is working to remediate the remaining material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting disclosed in the Form 10-K. No additional changes in our internal controls over financial reporting were identified during the quarter ended September 30, 2006 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, such internal control over financial reporting other than those remedial actions disclosed above.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

     On February 14, 2005, a complaint was filed in the Alabama Circuit Court for Barbour County, captioned Eufaula Drugs, Inc. v. ScriptSolutions [sic]. It is one of approximately fourteen substantially identical complaints commenced in Alabama courts against various unrelated pharmacy benefit management companies. On April 8, 2005, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint against one of our subsidiaries, BioScrip PBM Services f/k/a ScripSolutions (“PBM Services”), alleging breach of contract and related claims on behalf of a putative nationwide class of pharmacies alleging insufficient reimbursement for prescriptions dispensed, principally on the theory that PBM Services was obligated to update its prescription pricing files on a daily rather than weekly basis. On June 6, 2006, PBM Services made a motion in the Barbour County Circuit Court to dismiss the action. On July 11, 2006, the Circuit Court heard argument and reserved decision. PBM Services has not yet answered the complaint, but intends to deny the allegations and defend the claims vigorously.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

     The following risk factors are in addition to those previously disclosed in the 2005 Form 10-K:

Failure of physicians participating in the CAP program to timely or properly submit claims could adversely affectBioScrip’s financial results.

     BioScrip was selected by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) as the national vendor for the initial phase of the Competitive Acquisition Program (“CAP”) for certain Medicare Part B-covered drugs and biologicals, which program commenced July 1, 2006. Under CAP, participating physicians will obtain Medicare Part B-covered drugs from BioScrip and administer them to the beneficiary, rather than purchasing them directly from distributors and being reimbursed for the drug by Medicare. Physicians administering these drugs to beneficiaries will continue to receive reimbursement from CMS for administering the drug (but not the cost of the drug). Under the provisions of CAP, CMS will pay BioScrip for the drugs supplied to participating physicians and BioScrip will collect the amount of any applicable deductibles and coinsurance directly from the beneficiary. However, under the CAP rules, payment to BioScrip from CMS for drugs provided to participating physicians, as well as BioScrip’s ability to collect any applicable deductibles and coinsurance from a beneficiary, is conditioned upon the physician administering the drug and timely and properly submitting a claim in order to bill CMS for the administration of the drug. Failure on the part of participating physicians to administer drugs ordered from BioScrip or timely and properly submit claims for administration of such drugs will prevent or delay BioScrip from seeking reimbursement from CMS as well as from collecting any applicable deductibles and coinsurance and may adversely affect BioScrip’s financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.

Failure of the CMS claims processor to timely or properly match claims for payment could adversely affect our financial results.

     BioScrip submits claims for reimbursement from CMS through a claims processor which creates a common work file of data used to match with the claims information provided by the physicians through their local carrier. Failure on the part of the claims processor to timely and properly process and match claims for reimbursement will prevent or delay BioScrip from seeking reimbursement from CMS and may adversely affect BioScrip’s financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.
