ABMC Chief Executive Officer Stan Cipkowski stated, "Achieving sales growth in the drug testing market remained challenging in the first quarter of 2013, as drug testing budgets in the private and public sectors continue to be affected by uncertain economic conditions and high unemployment rates."

Cipkowski continued, "General and administrative expense continues to be impacted by investments in the required regulatory costs associated with our efforts to get FDA 510(k) marketing clearance on oral fluid and other new products, as well as ongoing litigation. Diversification continues to be our primary objective in 2013."
