KINDERHOOK, N.Y. - November 16, 2023 - American Bio Medica Corporation (ABMC) today announced financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Chief Executive Officer Melissa A. Waterhouse stated, “ABMC continues to be an extremely efficient manufacturing company, and we are pleased with our continued improvement in our bottom line results. We are still experiencing sales declines, however we have a number of potential new business relationships that we hope will have a positive impact on the top line in 2016 and beyond. In addition to these relationships, a new assay will be released in late 2015, and we are still taking steps to obtain marketing clearance from FDA. While our financial condition has dramatically improved over the last couple of years, we need to restore the top line so we can take additional steps needed to promote ABMC and increase shareholder value.”
