NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
September 30, 1999
(1) INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial statements and with the instructions to
Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X pertaining to interim financial statements.
Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. The interim financial statements presented herein reflect
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and
accruals) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair
presentation of financial position as of September 30, 1999 and results
of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 and
September 30, 1998. The Company's financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the summary of significant accounting policies and
the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. The
results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
(2) NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net loss per common share ("Basic EPS") is computed by dividing
net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Diluted net loss per common share ("Diluted EPS") is computed by
dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and
dilutive potential common shares then outstanding. The provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128 requires
the presentation of both Basic EPS and Diluted EPS on the face of the
consolidated statements of operations. Diluted EPS for each period
presented is the same as Basic EPS because the inclusion of stock
options and warrants outstanding would be antidilutive.

Each option entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A Common
Stock of the Company.
Other Shares and Warrants - In connection with a lease agreement for the
Company's former Boston research facility, the Company was entitled, at
its option to pay a portion of the annual lease obligation with Class A
Common Stock plus warrants. The Company paid $37,000 to terminate this
lease and has no further obligations as of June 30, 1999. The number of
shares of Common Stock issued was computed using the average market
price of the Company's Class A Common Stock during the ten days prior to
issuance. The warrants issued are exercisable at a price equal to the
closing price of the underlying Class A Common Stock on the date the
warrant is issued and for a period of four years from the date of
issuance. With respect to the three months ended February 26, 1999, on
May 17, 1999, the Company issued 29,850 shares of Class A Common Stock,
PAGE 10
<PAGE>
as well as warrants to purchase 29,850 shares of Class A Common Stock at
an exercise price of $1.28 per share. The fair value of the warrants
were calculated using an option-pricing model as of February 26, 1999.
The Company has no further obligation to issue stock or warrants to the
landlord. The Company recorded a charge to operations of $24,000 in the
first quarter of 1999.
Pursuant to an investor relations agreement entered into January
1999, the Company issued a warrant to the investor relations firm to
purchase up to 300,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at $1.00 per share
for five years, with vesting based on the achievement of certain goals.
Included in Other assets is the fair value of these warrants, as
determined using an option-pricing model, of $264,000 which is being
amortized over one year, the service period of the agreement.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis provides information which
ABS' management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding
of the Company's results of operations and financial condition. This
discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes appearing elsewhere herein.
General
ABS, a development stage company incorporated in September 1983,
launched two commercial products (TpP , ABS' Thrombus Precursor Protein
diagnostic test, and FiF , ABS' Functional Intact Fibrinogen diagnostic
test) in the fourth quarter of 1997. To date, ABS has not derived any
significant revenues from the sale of these products. On April 23,
1998, the Company acquired Stellar Bio Systems, Inc. ("Stellar"), a
manufacturer and distributor of in vitro diagnostic products and
research reagents. Reagents are individual components of diagnostic
products, such as antibodies, calibrators and serum used in the
biotechnology industry. The purchase price was $120,000 in cash and
$700,000 in Class A Common Stock (398,406 shares were issued), plus
future contingent payments of up to $650,000 in Class A Common Stock to
PAGE 11
<PAGE>
be paid over three years based upon future sales levels of Stellar, with
the Class A Common Stock to be valued at its market value on the
acquisition agreement anniversary dates. The Company made a contingent
payment of $150,000 in Class A Common Stock (131,118 shares) as of April
23, 1999 representing the first contingent payment. This amount was
charged to Intangible assets and is being amortized over 10 years.
Results of Stellar are included in the Company's results of operations
only since its April 23, 1998 acquisition by the Company.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
ABS intends to continue to make substantial expenditures for
research and product development in the neurobiology program and in the
development and commercialization of a point of care format for TpP, as
well as in the FDA approval process relating to additional 510(k)
filings for TpP and Stellar's products.
However, as of September 30, 1999, ABS had a negative working capital
of $288,000, compared to a positive working capital of $2,947,000 at
December 31, 1998. The Company implemented a cash conservation plan during
the second and third quarters of 1999, which includes salary deferrals by
executive officers and other employees ranging from 5% to 100% of
salary. As of September 30, 1999, accounts payable and accrued expenses
includes $145,000 of deferred salaries. In addition, non-essential
projects and consultants have been terminated or have agreed to other
methods of payment for services, including the issuance of stock, or to
a deferral of payments.
The Company's Chairman has funded operating cash needs since late
August 1999. As noted below, during the first quarter of fiscal 1999,
the Company's Chairman purchased 440,000 shares of Class A Common Stock
for $495,000 and, during the third quarter of fiscal 1999, loaned to the
Company $176,000 on a demand loan basis bearing interest at a rate of 6%
per annum. In addition, during the second quarter of fiscal 1999, the
Company's President and Chief Executive Officer purchased 82,000 shares
of Class A Common Stock for $82,000. Between October 1, 1999 and
November 9, 1999, the Company's Chairman loaned to the Company an
additional $243,000 on a similar basis to the loan made during the third
quarter. The Company's Chairman has indicated a present willingness to
PAGE 12
<PAGE>
provide further financing to the Company, although he has no commitment
to continue to do so and there can be no assurance that he will continue
to do so. As of September 30, 1999, the current portion of notes
payable includes Promissory Notes to the Chairman of $176,000. The
Company continues to seek to license TpP and its ABS 103 neurobiology
compound to large pharmaceutical companies in order to provide additional
funding and clinical expertise, to perform additional testing necessary
to obtain regulatory approvals, to provide manufacturing expertise and
to market ABS' products. Without significant licensing or co-marketing
arrangements, additional sources of funding will be required to finance
ABS. There can be no assurances that any funding will be available or,
if available, the terms thereof.
The Company's cash and cash equivalents decreased by $3,015,000 to
$32,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 1999, primarily
because cash used in operations of $3,387,000 and investing activities
of $427,000 exceeded net cash provided by financing activities of
$799,000. Net cash of $3,387,000 was used in operations to fund the
Company's cash loss from operations of $3,517,000 (net of non cash
expenses of $240,000 for depreciation and amortization, and $405,000
incurred as a result of the issuance of stock and warrants for
services). Net cash of $130,000 was provided by changes in operating
assets and liabilities as a result of a decrease in other assets
($3,000) and an increase in accounts payable ($284,000) partially offset
by an increase in other current assets ($94,000) due to a contractually
committed to loan made to the Company's President/CEO of $100,000 as
part of the inducement to him to join the Company, an increase in
inventory ($13,000) and an increase in accounts receivable ($50,000).
Cash used in investing activities was for the purchase of fixed assets
($19,000) and capitalized patent costs ($408,000) primarily for
neurobiology compounds. Financing activities provided $799,000 as a
result of the purchase by the Company's Chairman of 440,000 shares of
Class A Common Stock for $495,000, the purchase by the Company's
President/CEO of 82,000 shares of Class A Common Stock for $82,000, the
issuance of 500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock in lieu of a cash
payment of $80,000 for the development and manufacture of the rapid
assay format of TpP, loans from the Company's Chairman of $176,000 and
the exercise of stock options, offset in part, by payments of $37,000
under capital lease obligations and notes payable.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 1999
The Company's net loss of $1,141,000 for the third quarter ended
September 30, 1999 decreased by $518,000 from a net loss of $1,659,000
for the third quarter ended September 30, 1998. The decrease in the net
loss was primarily due to decreased interest expense of $318,000, a
decrease in research and development expenses of $202,000 and decreased
selling, general and administrative expenses of $125,000 offset by a
decrease in investment income of $90,000 and a decrease in gross profit
of $37,000.
Revenue decreased $56,000 during the third quarter of 1999 as
compared to the third quarter of 1998. Stellar sales were lower during
the third quarter of 1999 compared to the same period of 1998 due to
customer delays in qualifying reagents. These reagents are expected to
be shipped during the fourth quarter of 1999. Sales of TpP and FiF
diagnostic kits were higher during the third quarter of 1999 as compared
to the third quarter of 1998 resulting from reorders from European
distributors as well as direct U.S. sales to speciality laboratories.
Collaborative agreement revenue of $3,000 in 1999 relates to contract
services.
Research and development expenses decreased by $202,000, from
$587,000 to $385,000, primarily due to the consolidation of R&D
operations in Stellar's facilities which resulted in savings in
personnel costs, rent and maintenance costs, partially offset by
increases in Stellar's research and development costs relating to FDA
510(k) filings and continued TpP point of care development and clinical
costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $125,000,
from $1,082,000 during the third quarter of 1998 to $957,000 during the
third quarter of 1999, as a result of the reduced personnel and reduced
consulting services partially offset by an increase in the cost of
public relations, the noncash value of warrants issued for services and
increased travel and meeting costs.
PAGE 14
<PAGE>
Interest expense decreased by $318,000, from $320,000 to $2,000,
resulting from the absence of convertible debentures which were
repurchased in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998.
Investment income decreased by $90,000, from $91,000 in the third
quarter of 1998 to $1,000 in 1999, as a result of lower average cash
balances.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999
The Company's net loss of $4,162,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 decreased by $410,000 from a net loss of $4,572,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The decrease in the net
loss was primarily due to lower interest expense of $489,000, reduced
research and development expenses of $240,000 and an increase in gross
profit of $113,000 partially offset by lower investment income of
$233,000 and an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses
of $199,000.
The increase in sales during the nine months ended September 30,
1999 of $135,000 was primarily due to sales of Stellar products.
Partially offsetting this increase were lower sales of TpP and FiF
diagnostic kits during the first six months of 1999 than in the
comparable period of 1998 due to a slow market acceptance of the current
test format. Sales of TpP during the first quarter of 1998 was the
result of distributors initial stocking of the product. Collaborative
agreement revenue of $82,000 reflects the earned portion of an NIH
National Institute on Aging grant and contract services. The Company
obtained a grant of $135,000 from the NIH for additional studies of the
Company's neurobiology compound ABS 205. The study has been completed
and the final report is expected to be submitted during the fourth
quarter of 1999.
Research and development expenses decreased by $240,000, from
$1,663,000 to $1,423,000, primarily due to the consolidation of R&D
facilities offset in part by the inclusion of Stellar's costs for the
full nine month period of 1999 compared to approximately five months in
1998, increases in Stellar's post-acquisition research and development
costs relating to FDA 510(k) filings and continued TpP point of care
development and clinical costs.
PAGE 15
<PAGE>
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $199,000,
from $3,213,000 to $3,412,000, as a result of the inclusion of Stellar's
selling and general expenses for the full nine month period of 1999
compared to approximately five months of 1998, increases in the cost of
investor relations and the noncash value of warrants issued for services
offset, in part, by a reduction in other consulting costs.
Interest expense decreased by $489,000, from $496,000 to $7,000,
resulting from the absence of convertible debentures which were
repurchased in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998.
Investment income decreased by $233,000, from $262,000 in the nine
month period of 1998 to $29,000 in 1999, as a result of lower average
cash balances.
Year 2000
State of Readiness:The Year 2000 problem is the result of some
computer programs being written using two-digits rather than four to
define the applicable year. Therefore, it is possible that programs
that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the
year 1900 rather than the year 2000, which could result in a system
failure or miscalculation. ABS uses software developed and supported by
third parties for various applications, including financial reporting,
sales, purchasing and inventory, which will require upgrade. ABS has
assessed the impact of the Year 2000 issue on its information systems.
The Company believes that the upgrade can be completed within one month
through the purchase of readily available software, if it elects to
upgrade (see "Contingency Plan" below). The Company has delayed
purchasing and installing this software in order to conserve cash.
In addition, ABS may face some risk to the extent that suppliers of
products and others with whom ABS has a material business relationship
will not be Year 2000 compliant. Accordingly, ABS initiated formal
communications with significant suppliers and third parties in order to
determine the extent to which ABS may be vulnerable to the failure of
these suppliers and third parties to remediate their own Year 2000
issues. The Company received written responses from its material
PAGE 16
<PAGE>
suppliers and service providers which indicate that they are Year 2000
compliant. ABS is not dependent upon any one supplier and believes
that it could readily replace non-compliant suppliers should that become
necessary.
ABS has also reviewed its non-information technology systems to
determine the extent of any changes that may be necessary and currently
believes all these systems are Year 2000 compliant.
Costs: The Company currently estimates that the cost of the Year
2000 project will not exceed $50,000. This cost estimate may change as
ABS progresses in its Year 2000 project and obtains additional
information.
Risks: Some risks of non-compliance that ABS faces include: the
failure of internal information systems, a slow down in receipt of
manufactured product and in customers' ability to make payments.
Contingency Plans: ABS believes that, on a contingency basis, it
can operate its financial reporting, sales, purchasing and inventory
systems on a manual basis, including if it elects not to expend the
funds needed to upgrade its software for Year 200 compliance.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
At present, the Company's cash position does not enable it to
invest its cash. Its policy has been to invest any available cash in
highly liquid investments (primarily United States Treasury Bills) which
have a maturity, at the time of purchase, of less than three months.
ABS does not have operations subject to risks of foreign currency
fluctuations, nor does it use derivative financial instruments in its
operations. ABS does not have exposure to market risks associated with
changes in interest rates as it has no variable interest rate debt
outstanding. ABS does not believe it has any other material exposure to
market risks associated with interest rates.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 2. Changes in Securities
During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company sold
440,000 and 82,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock to Alfred J.
Roach, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and John S. North, the
Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, respectively, for
$495,000 and $82,000, respectively. Each agreed to acquire the shares
issued to him for investment only and not with a view to the
distribution of such shares. The Company believes that the exemption
from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Act"), is applicable to each issuance of such
shares.
During the three months ended September 30, 1999, the Company
issued an aggregate of 49,187 Class A Common Stock to four consultants
in partial consideration for services rendered, valued at $31,000. In
connection with such issuances, the consultants agreed to acquire the
shares issued to them for investment only and not with a view to the
distribution of such securities. The Company believes that the
exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Act is
applicable to each issuance of such shares.
During the three months ended September 30, 1999, the Company
issued 500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock in lieu of a cash payment
of $80,000 due to the company developing and manufacturing the rapid
assay format of TpP. In connection with such issuances, the company
agreed to acquire the shares issued to them for investment only and not
with a view to the distribution of such securities. The Company
believes that the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2)
of the Act is applicable to the issuance of such shares.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
A Notice of Solicitation of Consents was mailed to stockholders on
September 1, 1999 seeking authorization of an amendment to the Company's
Restated Certificate of Incorporation to enable the Board of Directors
to effect a reverse split of each class of Common Stock pursuant to
which the Company's Class A and Class B stock would each be exchanged
for new shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock,
respectively, in an exchange ratio to be approved by the Board of
Directors, ranging from one newly issued shares for each two outstanding
shares to one newly issued share for each eight outstanding shares. To
date, the reverse split has not been implemented. The Amendment to the
Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation was authorized by the
following vote:
