Net sales for the third quarter of 2012 were $2,283,000, compared to $2,365,000 for the third quarter of 2011, representing a decrease of $82,000, or 3.5%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, net sales were $7,041,000, compared to $6,898,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, representing an increase of $143,000, or 2.1%.


The Company reported an operating loss of $(229,000) in the third quarter of 2012, compared to operating income of $26,000 in the third quarter of 2011. Net loss for the third quarter of 2012 was $(264,000), or $(0.01) per share, compared to a net loss of $(28,000), or $(0.00) per share in the third quarter of 2011. Operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $(427,000), compared to an operating loss of $(173,000) in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $(546,000), or $(0.03) per share, compared to a net loss of $(330,000), or $(0.02) per share in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

ABMC Chief Executive Officer Stan Cipkowski stated,"In the third quarter, we continued to see improvement in national account (workplace) and contract manufacturing sales, as well as improvement in sales to international markets. However, government contract sales continued to decline. We remain hopeful that our investment in sales and marketing earlier this year will have a positive impact on future sales."

Cipkowski continued, "Contributing to the loss in the third quarter was increased general and administrative expense related to legal and compliance costs, as well as increased share-based payment expense. The increase in share-based payment expense stemmed primarily from the issuance (and full expense recognition in the third quarter 2012) of warrants issued in connection with the extension of our Series A Debentures."
