During the first year of data taking, the 1999-2000 run, the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric collider has collected an integrated luminosity of 20.7 fb−1 corresponding to 22.7 million B{bar B} pairs at the [Upsilon](4S) resonance. Using this data, we present the measurement of sin2[beta] based on samples of B° → J/[psi] K{sub S}°, B° → [psi](2S) K{sub S}° and B° → J/[psi] K{sub L}° L decays. Our measured value is sin2[beta] = 0.34 ± 0.20 (stat) ± 0.05 (syst). In addition we report on the measurement of branching fractions for exclusive B decays to charmonium final states, measurements of charged and neutral B meson lifetimes and also the B°{bar B}° oscillation frequency.
