The formulae for D^0-\bar{D}^0 or B^0-\bar{B}^0 mixing and CP violation at the \tau-charm or B-meson factories are derived, for the case that only the decay-time distribution of one D or B meson is to be measured. In particular, we point out a new possibility to determine the D^0-\bar{D}^0 mixing rate in semileptonic D decays at the \Psi (4.14) resonance; and show that both direct and indirect CP asymmetries can be measured at the \Upsilon (4S) resonance without ordering the decay times of two B_d mesons or measuring their difference.
