KINDERHOOK, N.Y. - August 13, 2024 - American Bio Medica Corporation (ABMC) today announced financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

Chief Executive Officer Melissa A. Waterhouse stated, “Sales in the latter part of the second quarter of 2015 were up from the prior year and that enabled us to report a minimal decrease in sales for the quarter when comparing year over year and increased sales when compared to the first quarter of 2015. Increased contract manufacturing, international and national account sales nearly offset the decline in government sales (due to the loss of state contracts in 2014).”

Waterhouse continued, “From an expense standpoint, as expected we continued to see increased selling and marketing expense in the second quarter as a result of increased efforts to market our products. General and administrative expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 increased as a result of increased debt issuance costs and deferred finance costs. This increase stemmed from accelerated amortization of non-cash costs associated with the Imperium line of credit as well as costs associated with the new line of credit. Since the Imperium line of credit was terminated early, we were required to record all of the remaining debt expense (approximately $69,000) in the three months ended June 30, 2015. The early move from Imperium to Crestmark Bank lowers our interest rate on our revolver and provides us with more access to capital. In other issues, our FDA marketing application is still in process and we are on track to release a new assay in 2015.”
