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. Following the Registrant's fiscal year ended December
31, 2001, its common stock has been subject to quotation on the pink sheets. There is
currently only a limited trading market in the Registrant's shares. 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.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Back
to Table of Contents Evaluation of disclosure controls and
procedures. As of March 31, 2010, the Company's
chief executive officer/chief financial officer conducted an evaluation regarding the
effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules
13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon the evaluation of these
controls and procedures, our chief executive officer/chief financial officer concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the date of filing this
quarterly report. Changes in internal controls. During the quarterly period covered by this report, no changes
occurred in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL

Rubin Financial Statements for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 ASSETS LIABILITIES
AND STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIENCY American Biogenetic Sciences, Inc. AMERICAN BIOGENETIC SCIENCES, INC. 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, 2009 Annual Report
on Form 10-K 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-month periods ended March 31,
2010 and 2009. 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 Companys 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
ABSs 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. New Accounting Standards In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB
Statement No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS
141R). SFAS 141R provides additional guidance on improving the relevance,
representational faithfulness, and comparability of the financial information that a
reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its
effects. This Statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the
acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period
beginning on or after December 15, 2008. In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB
Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial
Statementsan amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160). SFAS 160
amends ARB No. 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the
noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a
subsidiary. This Statement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within
those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 160 on our financial statements. 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 SECs 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. Management does not anticipate that the adoption of these standards
will have a material impact on the financial statements.
