PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Back to Table of Contents

The Registrant's unaudited interim financial statements are attached hereto. Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND PLAN OF OPERATION Back to Table of Contents

Some of the statements contained in this quarterly report of American Biogenetic Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation discuss future expectations, contain projections of our plan of operation or financial condition or state other forward-looking information. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use of words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe," and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. From time to time, we also may provide forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public.

General Background

American Biogenetic Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is sometimes referred to herein as "we", "us", "our", "Company" and the "Registrant". The Registrant was formed in 1983 for the purpose of researching, developing and marketing cardiovascular and neurobiology products for commercial development and distributing vaccines. The Registrant's products were designed for in vitro and in vivo diagnostic procedures and therapeutic drugs, and its products had been identified for use in the treatment of epilepsy, migraine and mania, neurodegenerative diseases, coronary artery diseases and cancer. The Registrant commenced selling its products during the last quarter of 1997 but did not generate any sufficient revenues from operations to fund its operating expenses.

On September 19, 2002, the Registrant filed a petition under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York. On November 4, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court approved an order authorizing a change in control and provided that the Company, subsequent to the bankruptcy proceeding, is free and clear of all liens, claims and interests of others.

Change in Control following Bankruptcy

The Bankruptcy Court authorized Park Avenue Group to appoint new members to the Registrant's board of directors and management, and the authority to change the Registrant's articles of incorporation with respect to the capital stock of the Company. On November 29, 2005, the Registrant's board of directors approved an amendment to the Registrant's articles of incorporation to (i) increase the number of authorized shares of capital stock to 910,000,000 shares, including 900,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001. On November 8, 2005, Park Avenue Group appointed Richard Rubin to the board of directors of the Registrant, which then appointed Mr. Rubin to be chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the Registrant.

New Business Objectives of the Registrant

As a result of the bankruptcy proceeding, the Registrant has no present operations and has determined to direct its efforts and limited resources to pursue potential new business opportunities. The Registrant does not intend to limit itself to a particular industry and has not established any particular criteria upon which it shall consider and proceed with a business opportunity.

There is currently only a limited trading market in the Registrant's shares on the NASDAQ BB. There can be no assurance that there will be an active trading market for our common stock. In the event that an active trading market commences, there can be no assurance as to the market price of our shares of common stock, whether any trading market will provide liquidity to investors, or whether any trading market will be sustained.

Registrant's executive officer/director intends to devote such time as he deems necessary to carry out the Registrant's affairs. The exact length of time required for the pursuit of any new potential business opportunities is uncertain. No assurance can be made that the Registrant will be successful in its efforts. We cannot project the amount of time that our executive officer/director will actually devote to the Registrant's plan of operation.

Plan of Operation

We have no present operations or revenues and our current activities are related to seeking new business opportunities, including seeking an acquisition or merger with an operating company. If our management seeks to acquire another business or pursue a new business opportunity, it would have substantial flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective business. Registrant would not be obligated nor does management intend to seek pre-approval from our shareholders. Under the laws of the State of Delaware, the consent of holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares, acting without a shareholders meeting, can approve an acquisition.

The Registrant is entirely dependent on the judgment of its executive officer/director in connection with pursuing a new business opportunity or a selection process for a target operating company. In evaluating a prospective new business opportunity or an operating company, he would consider, among other factors, the following: (i) costs associated with effecting a transaction; (ii) equity interest in and opportunity to control the prospective candidate; (iii) growth potential of the target business; (iv) experience and skill of management and availability of additional personnel; (v) necessary capital requirements; (vi) the prospective candidate's competitive position; (vii) stage of development of the business opportunity; (viii) the market acceptance of the business, its products or services; (ix) the availability of audited financial statements of the potential business opportunity; and (x) the regulatory environment that may be applicable to any prospective business opportunity.

The foregoing criteria are not intended to be exhaustive and there may be other criteria that management may deem relevant. In connection with an evaluation of a prospective or potential business opportunity, management may be expected to conduct a due diligence review.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We will use our limited personnel and financial resources in connection with seeking new business opportunities, including seeking an acquisition or merger with an operating company. It may be expected that entering into a new business opportunity or business combination will involve the issuance of a substantial number of restricted shares of common stock. If such additional restricted shares of common stock are issued, our shareholders will experience a dilution in their ownership interest in the Registrant. If a substantial number of restricted shares are issued in connection with a business combination, a change in control may be expected to occur.

In connection with our plan to seek new business opportunities and/or effecting a business combination, we may determine to seek to raise funds from the sale of restricted stock or debt securities.We have no agreements to issue any debt or equity securities and cannot predict whether equity or debt financing will become available at terms acceptable to us, if at all.

There are no limitations in our articles of incorporation on our ability to borrow funds or raise funds through the issuance of restricted common stock to effect a business combination. Our limited resources and lack of operating history may make it difficult to do borrow funds or raise capital. Our inability to borrow funds or raise funds through the issuance of restricted common stock required to effect or facilitate a business combination may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and future prospects, including the ability to complete a business combination. To the extent that debt financing ultimately proves to be available, any borrowing will subject us to various risks traditionally associated with indebtedness, including the risks of interest rate fluctuations and insufficiency of cash flow to pay principal and interest, including debt of an acquired business.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Back to Table of Contents

We have not entered into, and do not expect to enter into, financial instruments for trading or hedging purposes.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Back to Table of Contents

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Disclosure controls and procedures are the controls and other procedures that we designed to ensure that we record, process, summarize and report in a timely manner the information we must disclose in reports that we file with or submit to the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

AMERICAN BIOGENETIC SCIENCES, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
September 30, 2008

1. Basis of Presentation

American Biogenetic Sciences, Inc. (the "Company", “We” or "ABS") was incorporated in Delaware on September 1, 1983. Prior to filing for bankruptcy under chapter 7, the Company engaged in the research, development and production of bio-pharmaceutical products.

The Financial Statements presented herein have been prepared by us in accordance with the accounting policies described in our December 31, 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements which appear in that report.

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related intangible assets, income taxes, insurance obligations and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed 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 resources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

In the opinion of management, the information furnished in this Form 10-Q reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations and cash flows as of and for the three- and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include some information and notes necessary to conform with annual reporting requirements

“Fresh Start” Accounting: On September 19, 2002 all of the Company’s assets were transferred to the chapter 7 trustee in settlement of all outstanding corporate obligations. We adopted "fresh-start" accounting as of September 20, 2002 in accordance with procedures specified by AICPA Statement of Position ("SOP") No. 90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code."

All results for periods subsequent to September 19, 2002 are referred to as those of the "Successor Company". The results of operations and cash flows as presented on the 2002 financial statements reflect the predecessor company. The successor company had no transactions between September 19 and the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2002.

In accordance with SOP No. 90-7, the reorganized value of the Company was allocated to the Company's assets based on procedures specified by SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations". Each liability existing at the plan sale date, other than deferred taxes, was stated at the present value of the amounts to be paid at appropriate market rates. It was determined that the Company's reorganization value computed immediately before September 20, 2002 was $0. We adopted "fresh-start" accounting because holders of existing voting shares immediately before filing and confirmation of the sale received less than 50% of the voting shares of the emerging entity and its reorganization value is less than its post-petition liabilities and allowed claims.

The accounts of the former subsidiaries were not included in the sale and have not been carried forward.

2. Bankruptcy Proceedings

On September 19, 2002, the Registrant filed a voluntary Chapter 7 petition under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court Eastern District of New York (case no. 02-86689). On November 4, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court approved an Order confirming the sale of debtor's interest in personal property to Park Avenue Group Inc. The material terms of the transaction confirmed by Bankruptcy Court authorized Park Avenue Group to appoint new members to the Registrant's board of directors and authorized the newly-appointed board of directors to amend the Article of Incorporation with respect to the capital stock of the Company.

The accounts of the former subsidiaries were not included in the sale and have not been carried forward.

Resultant Change in Control: In connection with the Order confirming the sale of debtor's interest in certain intangible personal property to Park Avenue Group Inc. approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court Eastern District of New York on November 4, 2005, the Court authorized a change in control pursuant to which Richard Rubin became our sole director on November 29, 2005, and was appointed CEO by the new board of directors on November 29, 2005. The Court order further provided that the sale was free and clear of liens, claims and interests of others and that the sale was free and clear of any and all other real or personal property interests, including any interests in ABS’s subsidiaries.

3. Earnings/Loss Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) for the period. Diluted earnings per share assume that any dilutive convertible securities outstanding were converted, with related preferred stock dividend requirements and outstanding common shares adjusted accordingly. It also assumes that outstanding common shares were increased by shares issuable upon exercise of those stock options for which market price exceeds the exercise price, less shares which could have been purchased by us with the related proceeds. In periods of losses, diluted loss per share is computed on the same basis as basic loss per share as the inclusion of any other potential shares outstanding would be anti-dilutive.

4. Related Party Transactions not Disclosed Elsewhere:

Due related parties and Fair value of services: The principal stockholder provided, without cost to the Company, his services and office space. The total of these expenses was $27,000 and $9,000 for nine month and three month period ended September 30, 2008, respectively, and was $12,000 and $0 for nine month and three month period ended September 30, 2007, respectively. These expenses were reflected in the statement of operations as general and administrative expenses.

5. New Accounting Standards

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”. This Statement replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. This Statement retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This Statement also establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009. While the Company has not yet evaluated this statement for the impact, if any, that SFAS No. 141(R) will have on its consolidated financial statements, the Company will be required to expense costs related to any acquisitions after September 30, 2009.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Our Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 162 on its financial statements but does not expect it to have a material effect.

Accounting Principles. Our Management is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 162 on the Company's financial statements but does not expect it to have a material effect.
