Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of American Bio Medica Corporation (the "Company") at July 31, 1998, and the results of its operations, and cash flows for the three-month period then ended. The results of operations for the three-month period ended July 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related disclosures for the year ended April 30, 1998 included in the Company's Form 10-KSB. Note B - Net Income Per Share of Common Stock In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". Statement No. 128 replaced the calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share exclude any dilutive effects of options, warrants, and convertible securities. Dilutive earnings per share is very similar to the previously reported fully diluted earnings per share. The Company adopted Statement No. 128 and has retroactively applied the effects thereof for all periods presented. The impact on the per share amounts previously reported was not significant. When preferred stock is convertible to common stock at a conversion rate that is the lower of a rate fixed at issuance or a fixed discount from the common stock market price at the time of conversion, the discounted amount is an assured incremental yield, the "beneficial conversion feature", to the preferred shareholders and should be accounted for as an embedded dividend to preferred shareholders. As such, the loss per common share was adjusted for this feature. Note C - Litigation In February 1994, Robert Freidenberg, as owner of the two medical technology companies, MDI and Gendex, acquired by the Company, in the name of these corporations, filed suit to have a Share Exchange Agreement rescinded on the grounds of breach of contract. In order to preserve a claim for damages, the Company filed a third-party claim against Dr. Freidenberg, for breach of the Share Exchange Agreement. In November 1995, after a trial, the court dismissed Dr. Friedenberg's lawsuit and allowed the Company's third-party claim to proceed to trial.In September, 1996, Dr. Friedenberg died. A pretrail hearing was held in December 1996 which set a trial date of April 28, 1997. 6 That trial was decided by a jury on May 5, 1997. The verdict determined that Dr. Friedenberg breached various contracts, including the Share Exchange Agreement, when he failed to deliver technology to the Company. The jury also found in favor of the Company on two of the three fraud claims against Dr. Friedenberg and awarded the Company approximately $321,000 in damages. Dr. Friedenberg's estate, just prior to the jury trial, filed a supplemental claim for the shares of the Company's stock which he would have received under the Share Exchange Agreement which the trial judge took under advisement. The trial judge, on July 17, 1998 ruled that the estate of Dr. Friedenberg is entitled to 5,907,154 common shares of the Company. The Company has filed an appeal. Management of the Company in consultation with counsel is of the opinion that the trial judge's award of the shares to Dr. Friedenberg's estate will be reversed on appeal. In June 1995, the Company filed a lawsuit against Mr. Morris, Dr. Friedenberg's counsel, for the breach of attorney-client relationship and his fiduciary duty and negligence in representing the Company in matters relating to Dr. Friedenberg and in the preparation of the Share Exchange Agreement. The Company's lawsuit demands damages in the amount of $1,000,000. Mr. Morris has counterclaimed for common shares. No trial date has been set. The Company is vigorously contesting the Morris claim. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS for the three months ended July 31, 1998 and 1997 The following discussion of the company's financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this document. Statements in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in this document as well as statements made in press releases and oral statements that may be made by the Company or by officers, directors or employees of the Company acting on the Company's behalf that are not statements of historical or current fact constitute "forward looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other unknown factors that could cause the actual results of the Company to be materially different from the historical results or from any future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In addition to statements which explicitly describe such risks and uncertainties, readers are urged to consider statements labeled with the terms "believes", "belief", "expects", "intends", "anticipates" or "plans" to be uncertain forward-looking. The forward looking statements contained herein are also subject generally to other risks and uncertainties that are described from time to time in the Company's reports and registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 7 Results of operations for the three months ended July 31, 1998 as compared to the three months ended July 31, 1997 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- During the current quarter, the Company continued its extensive program to market and distribute its primary product, the Rapid Drug Test kit. As a result, revenues from the sale of the test kits were $1,165,000 for the three months ended July 31, 1998 as compared to $707,000 for the three months ended July 31, 1997, representing an increase of $458,000 or 64.7% over the preceding year. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended July 31, 1998 was $487,000 or 41.8% of drug test revenues as compared to $329,000 or 46.7% of drug test revenues for the three months ended July 31, 1997. To further reduce this cost, the Company has undertaken to improve its manufacturing processes and expects further savings throughout the year. Revenues from book sales were $143,000 for the three months ended July 31, 1998 as compared to $110,000 for the three months ended July 31, 1997 representing an increase of $33,000 or 30.0%. It is anticipated that with continuing strong sales in the drug test market, book sales as a percent of overall revenue will continue to decline. Cost of goods sold for the year ended July 31, 1998 was $27,000 (18.9% of book sales) as compared to $28,000 (25.5% of book sales) for the three months ended July 31, 1997. General and administrative costs for the three months ended July 31, 1998 were $1,031,000, an increase of 164.4% over expenses of $390,000 for the three months ended July 31,1997. These increased general and administrative costs are undertaken to create the infrastructure necessary to meet the Company's worldwide drug test marketing and production goals. As an outgrowth of increasing drug test sales the Company expects general and administrative costs to continue to increase but at a slower rate. As a percent of sales, this cost increased 31.0% during the current year but is expected to decrease with anticipated sales growth. Depreciation and amortization was $18,000 and $24,000 for the three months ended July 31, 1998 and 1997 respectively. Research and development expense amounted to $50,000 for the three months ended July 31 1998. This represents management's continued emphasis on the development of both new products and improved methods to reduce the costs of the drug testing delivery system. Liquidity and capital resources as of the end of the three months ended July 31, 1998. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Company's cash and cash equivalents amounted to $2,089,000 for the three months ended July 31, 1998 representing a decrease of $1,150,000 or 35.5% over $3,239,000 for the year ended April 30, 1998. Working capital decreased $434,000 or 9.7% over $4,480,000 recorded for the year ended April 30, 1998. 8 The decrease in working capital resulted from the following operating increases in accounts receivable, inventories, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and results of operations. As a result of strong first quarter sales of drug test kits, accounts receivable increased $297,000 or 41.7% to $1,009,000 for the three months ended July 31, 1998 compared to $712,000 for the year ended April 30, 1998. Inventories rose 17.8% to $1,167,000 for the three months ended July 31, 1998 or $498,000 above $669,000 reported as of the three months ended July 31, 1997. Prepaid expenses rose $88,000 to $112,000 for the three months ended July 31, 1998 related to expenditures for prepaid insurance, advertising and commissions. Account payable and accrued expenses decreased $203,000 for the three months ended July 31, 1998. Net (loss) from operations amounted to $(276,000) for the three months ended July 31, 1998 due to increases in selling, general and administrative expenditures related to the expansion of the company\rquote s infrastructure . The Company's primary short-term needs are to increase its manufacturing capabilities, increase inventory levels and continue to support its research and development programs. The Company currently plans to expend approximately $2.0 million for the expansion and development of its manufacturing facilities in addition to its marketing and general administrative programs. The Company expects its capital requirements to increase over the next several years as it expands its research and development efforts, new product development, sales and administration infrastructure, manufacturing capabilities and facilities. The Company's future liquidity and capital funding requirements will depend on numerous factors, including the extent to which the Company's products under development are successfully developed and gain market acceptance, the timing of regulatory actions regarding the Company's potential products, the costs and timing of expansion of sales, marketing and manufacturing activities, facilities expansion needs, procurement and enforcement of patents important to the Company's business, results of clinical investigations and competition. The Company believes that its available cash and cash from operations will be sufficient to satisfy its funding needs for at least the next 12 months. Thereafter, if cash generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy the Company's working capital and capital expenditure requirements, the Company may be required to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. There can be no assurance that such financing, if required, will be available on satisfactory terms, if at all. 9 PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings. In February 1994, Robert Freidenberg, as owner of the two medical technology companies, MDI and Gendex, acquired by the Company, in the name of these corporations, filed suit to have a Share Exchange Agreement rescinded on the grounds of breach of contract. In order to preserve a claim for damages, the Company filed a third-party claim against Dr. Freidenberg, for breach of the Share Exchange Agreement. In November 1995, after a trial, the court dismissed Dr. Friedenberg's lawsuit and allowed the Company's third-party claim to proceed to trial.In September, 1996, Dr. Friedenberg died. A pretrail hearing was held in December 1996 which set a trial date of April 28, 1997. That trial was decided by a jury on May 5, 1997. The verdict determined that Dr. Friedenberg breached various contracts, including the Share Exchange Agreement, when he failed to deliver technology to the Company. The jury also found in favor of the Company on two of the three fraud claims against Dr. Friedenberg and awarded the Company approximately $321,000 in damages. Dr. Friedenberg's estate, just prior to the jury trial, filed a supplemental claim for the shares of the Company's stock which he would have received under the Share Exchange Agreement which the trial judge took under advisement. The trial judge, on July 17, 1998 ruled that the estate of Dr. Friedenberg is entitled to 5,907,154 common shares of the Company. The Company has filed an appeal. Management of the Company in consultation with counsel is of the opinion that the trial judge's award of the shares to Dr. Friedenberg's estate will be reversed on appeal. In June 1995, the Company filed a lawsuit against Mr. Morris, Dr. Friedenberg's counsel, for the breach of attorney-client relationship and his fiduciary duty and negligence in representing the Company in matters relating to Dr. Friedenberg and in the preparation of the Share Exchange Agreement. The Company's lawsuit demands damages in the amount of $1,000,000. Mr. Morris has counterclaimed for common shares. No trial date has been set. The Company is vigorously contesting the Morris claim.
