ABMC Chief Executive Officer, Stan Cipkowski stated, "I am very pleased to announce that after eleven quarters of sales going the wrong way - down from the same period the previous year - we saw an increase in year over year sales in the fourth quarter of 2011. Although the increase was modest, we believe that the fourth quarter of 2011 was the turnaround point as the trend is continuing in the current year."

Cipkowski added, "Also very exciting is that we achieved positive operating profits in the last three quarters of 2011, though after interest and taxes we showed losses. We expect to refinance all debt in 2012 at more favorable interest rates and service terms, to continue to reduce and control expenses and to implement programs to increase manufacturing efficiencies resulting in improved gross margins.

Cipkowski continued, "We are also expanding our sales force, introducing new products, and continuing to partner with organizations that can enable us increase revenues and profits."
