             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and therefore do
not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of
financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.  In the opinion of management, the
unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments
that are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the periods presented,
and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

     The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements include the
accounts of American BioMed, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cathlab
Corporation, (jointly referred to as the "Company") after elimination of all
material intercompany transactions and accounts.

     These unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read
in connection with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1998
included in the Company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K. Results for the
second quarter are not necessarily indicative of year-end results.


2.   CAPITAL STOCK

     During the first six months of 1999, 533 shares of Series A convertible
preferred stock and 9,000 shares of Series D convertible preferred stock were
converted into 4,224,741 and 742,559 common shares respectively.

     On March 3, 1999, the Company and an investor entered into a securities
purchase agreement for a Series 1999-A Nine Percent (9%) Redeemable Convertible
Debenture (the "Debenture") in the amount of $400,000.  Offering costs of
$47,500 were incurred in this transaction.  The Debenture matures December 31,
2001 with interest payable quarterly. The Company granted the holder a security
interest in the OmniCath(R) and the Evert-O-CathTM.  As additional
consideration, a warrant to purchase 40,000 shares of common stock at an
exercise price of $0.175 per share, which is equal to 125% of the closing bid
price for the common stock on March 3, 1999, was issued to the investor.  The
warrant is exercisable for three years.

     The Debenture is convertible into common stock at a conversion price equal
to the lesser of $0.15 per share or 75% of the lowest of the closing bid prices
for the five business days immediately preceding the conversion date. As a part
of the agreement registration rights were granted regarding the warrant, the
conversion shares, the interest shares and the security shares, and the Company
must make reasonable efforts to file a registration statement within 45 days
after closing. In addition, 2,500,000 shares of common stock are being held in
escrow.

     The Company has a right to redeem all or a portion of the Debenture at any
time prior to receiving a notice of conversion.  The cash redemption amount
shall be equal to:

     .    115% of the face amount to be redeemed if redeemed within the first
          thirty days;
     .    120% of the face amount to be redeemed if redeemed between thirty-one
          and sixty-one days; or
     .    125% of the face amount to be redeemed if redeemed after 60 days.

5.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     In May 1997, a former Chairman and Chief Scientific Officer and director of
the Company filed a lawsuit in the State District Court of Harris County, Texas
seeking an unspecified amount of damages and alleging oppressive action toward a
minority shareholder, breach of contract, failure of consideration for the
assignment of certain patent rights, wrongful termination and unpaid debts and
advances. The February 1998 mediation conference, which was mandated by the
Court, did not result in a settlement agreement.  The case came to trial in
October 1998 and was settled on terms favorable to the Company.    The Company
agreed to give the plaintiff an agreed judgment totaling $400,000, which may not
be executed until after February 15, 1999 with post judgment interest at the
rate of 10% per year.  In addition, the Company agreed that upon the sale of its
guidewire micro-filter patent (the OmniFilter), the plaintiff will be entitled
to payment totaling $200,000.  In the event of a licensing agreement, the
plaintiff will receive 5% of the licensing agreement revenues until a total of
$200,000 has been paid.  The payment of $200,000 is secured by the OmniFilter
patent and such security interest will be subordinated to any lender requesting
the OmniFilter patent as collateral.  At the Company's discretion the security
interest in the OmniFilter may be moved to the stent patent with the same
stipulation as to subordination.  The judgment was paid and a release filed in
April 1999.  The plaintiff has now filed suit claiming that the Company
anticipatorily breached the agreement to pay licensing revenues.  The Company
has filed a response denying the claim.  Royalty expense in the amount of
$50,000 has been accrued as of June 30, 1999.

     In August 1997, a former Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer
and director of the Company filed a lawsuit in the State District Court of
Harris County, Texas alleging breach of contract with respect to a letter
agreement executed in connection with his employment separation and resignation
from the Board of the Company and sought specific performance and monetary
damages of approximately $307,000. On August 24, 1998 the parties reached a
settlement through mediation. The Company paid $2,800 in cash, issued at no cost
to the plaintiff stock options to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock at an
exercise price of $0.6875 with a guaranteed value of $100,000 and executed an
agreed judgment in the amount of $85,000 at 10% interest payable November 1,
1999. The judgment was amended to include the guaranteed value shortage in the
amount of $70,173.

     In January 1999, a former distributor filed a lawsuit in the State District
Court of Georgia alleging breach of contract and is seeking $34,000 plus pre-
judgment interest.  In the opinion of management, the ultimate outcome of this
matter will not materially affect the Company's financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.

     The Company is occasionally a party to litigation (other than that
specifically noted) arising in the ordinary course of business. Management
regularly analyzes current information and, as necessary, provides accrual for
probable liabilities for the eventual disposition of the matter. In the opinion
of management, the ultimate outcome of these matters will not materially affect
the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

through June 30, 1999, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $30,885,397.
During the first six months of 1999, the Company focused its efforts on raising
capital and forming strategic alliances. On March 26, 1999, the Company entered
into an exclusive license agreement with Manufacturing & Research, Inc. ("MRI")
for the Company's Cathlab (R) patents. Pursuant to the license agreement, the
Company relocated its manufacturing facility to MRI's facility in Tucson,
Arizona. MRI will staff and manage the facility and manufacture the Company's
cardiovascular products under the licensing agreement. Management anticipates
this action will result in the Company saving approximately $600,000 in
operating, production and engineering costs annually as well as leading to
additional revenue opportunities. As a result of the Company's decision in March
to relocate its manufacturing facility and form a strategic manufacturing
alliance with MRI, manufacturing backlogs have been temporarily created. These
backlogs are expected to continue through the third quarter as the Arizona
manufacturing facility completes the manufacturing start-up phase. Full-scale
production levels are expected to be in place by the end of the third quarter
1999.

     During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company's net sales
increased 8.5% to $278,242 compared with sales of $256,400 for the same period
in 1998. Net sales for the second quarter 1999 increased $71,235 or 75.5%.
Foreign export net sales for the quarter decreased 16.5% to $50,817 from $60,889
and increased 8.5% for the first six months of 1999 to $150,968 from $139,121 in
1998. Domestic net sales for the quarter increased 471% to $114,734 from $20,092
and 73.3% for the first six months of 1999 to $127,274 from $73,424. At June 30,
1999 the Company had approximately $77,600 in backorders to its distributors due
to the relocation of the manufacturing facility. In comparison, the backorders
to its European distributors as of June 30, 1998 were $31,200 related to the
attainment of the CE Mark and $10,800 in backorders related to the Company's
launch of its thrombectomy catheter in June 1998. Included in the domestic net
sales for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999 is revenue of $28,000
from sales and marketing services and $88,254 from the sale of raw material and
supplies. A sales, marketing and distribution agreement with Biocontrol
Technology, Inc. ("Biocontrol") was entered into on May 25, 1999. During the
initial term of the agreement the Company will receive $14,000 per month to
perform all sales and marketing functions associated with the sale and
distribution of Biocontrol's product, theraPORT(R), an implantable vascular
access system. The decision to distribute Biocontrol's vascular products will
solidify and enhance the Company's extensive domestic and international
distributor network.

     The second quarter 1999 and 1998 cost of sales percentage was 92.1% and
78.8%, respectively. Cost of sales represented 100.3% and 88.5% of sales for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The increase in cost of
sales for the year is primarily due to an increase in factory overhead as rent
and other costs increased. In addition, the Company sold some samples to
distributors for use in training at a reduced price and has increased sales of
products whose gross margins are lower than the majority of its existing
products.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter decreased
21.7% or $126,700 to $457,741 as compared to the same period in the prior year.
These expenses for the first six months of 1999 decreased 11.6% or $123,873 to
$944,389 during the first six months of 1999, compared to $1,068,261 for the
same period in 1998 primarily due to the relocation of the manufacturing
facility during the second quarter. Promotion expense, which includes samples to
distributors, trade shows and exhibits, decreased approximately $21,000 for the
quarter and year to date as compared to the prior year. For the second quarter
1999, one-time expenditures amounting to approximately $30,000 were incurred in
the relocation of the manufacturing facility and California administrative
offices. Quarterly expenditures decreased approximately $57,500 for consulting
expenses, $10,700 for insurance expense, $6,700 for legal and accounting,
$17,000 for payroll and related expenses, $9,500 for facility and equipment
expense, $7,400 for office expense, $10,600 for depreciation and amortization
allocation, $6,300 for investor relations expenses and $10,000 for other
miscellaneous expenses. The decrease in consulting expense is due to timing
differences in the consulting expenses related to attaining and maintaining the
CE Mark and ISO 9001 certifications as well as the expenses related to the
Company's Annual Report. The other decreases in expense were primarily
attributable to the relocation of the manufacturing facility.

     Research and development expenses totaled $72,845 during the first six
months of 1999, a decrease of 67.4% from the 1998 six month total of $223,217.
These expenses are being slowed until the Company receives funding to ensure
that, once initiated, projects can be completed as scheduled. The Company
entered into an exclusive worldwide, royalty-bearing licensing agreement on
April 14, 1999 with IntraTherapeutices, Inc. ("ITI") for the OmniFilter
technology, a percutaneous guidewire micro-filter to be used in carotid
angioplasty procedures. It is anticipated that research and development expenses
will decrease as a result of this agreement. In addition, other licensing
opportunities are being considered as an alternative to research and development
funding.

     Interest expense increased 73.5% to $114,305 for the first six months of
1999, compared to $65,895 for the first six months of 1998 due to increased
borrowings during the fourth quarter of 1998 and second quarter of 1999.

     Other income for the quarter includes $15,000 amortization of the license
fee received from Wright Medical Technologies, Inc. for the spinal dissector
transaction in 1994 and $50,000 amortization of the license fee received from
ITI. The Company entered into an exclusive worldwide, royalty-bearing license
agreement on April 14, 1999 with IntraTherapeutics, Inc. for its OmniFilter
technology, a percutaneous filter to be used in carotid angioplasty procedures.
The Company received a one-time license fee of $1,000,000 and a 5% royalty fee
for the life of the patents. The license term is the later of the expiration of
all patents, including patent applications, or ten years from the first
commercial sale of the licensed product. As part of a settlement agreement, the
former Chairman, Chief Scientific Officer and director of the Company will
receive 5% of the licensing agreement revenues until a total of $200,000 has
been paid. The payment of $200,000 is secured by the OmniFilter patent and such
security interest will be subordinated to any lender requesting the OmniFilter
patent as collateral. Royalty expense of $50,000 has been accrued at June 30,
1999 and is included in other income and expense, net.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company had a working capital deficiency as of June 30, 1999 of
$2,006,942 and cash and cash equivalents of $133,500 compared to a deficiency of
$1,852,718 and cash and cash equivalents of $36,463 as of December 31, 1998.

     The net cash used by operating activities of $1,283,351 was $361,768 more
than during the same period in 1998. Financing activities provided cash of
$381,559 and was favorably impacted by the issuance of Series 1999-A Nine
Percent Redeemable Convertible Debentures in the amount of $400,000. Investing
activities provided cash of approximately $999,000 resulting primarily from a
licensing agreement with ITI (See "Results of Operation.")

     The Company requires significant additional funds to enable it to complete
development and, subject to obtaining required regulatory approvals,
commercialization of the OmniCath(R) for peripheral and A-V fistula use, to
enter into marketing and distribution arrangements for the OmniCath(R), to
commence and continue the development of other products which include the
OmniStentTM, Evert-O-CathTM, and other products as well as product enhancements
to its existing 100%-silicone balloon catheters, the OmniCath(R), Evert-O-CathTM
and OmniStentTM and to expand its manufacturing and distribution abilities with
respect to the Cathlab products.  The Company is actively seeking additional
financing through possible collaborative arrangements, public or private
financings, including equity financings, and other arrangements.  In the event
such funding is not obtained, the Company's research and development projects
will continue to be delayed or scaled back.  Failure to receive funds will have
a material adverse effect on the Company's operations.  In order to continue as
a going concern, the Company must raise additional funds as noted above and
ultimately must achieve profitable operations.

Year 2000 Readiness

     The Company installed vendor upgrades for each of its computer-based
applications that will accommodate the millenium change.  The Company's
processing and manufacturing equipment is not date dependent and on-board CPU's
simply control devices without date dependency.  The administrative and design
computers utilize state of the art, commercially available software which has
been tested, and when necessary, modified to be Year 2000 ("Y2K") compliant.
The Company's vendors have responded that they are Y2K compliant and will be
able to continue to meet

our materials and shipping demands beyond the year 2000. Therefore, the Company
does not believe the millenium change will have an adverse impact on its
operations.


                           PART II OTHER INFORMATION
                           -------------------------

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

     In May 1997, a former Chairman and Chief Scientific Officer and director of
the Company filed a lawsuit in the State District Court of Harris County, Texas
seeking an unspecified amount of damages and alleging oppressive action toward a
minority shareholder, breach of contract, failure of consideration for the
assignment of certain patent rights, wrongful termination and unpaid debts and
advances. The February 1998 mediation conference, which was mandated by the
Court, did not result in a settlement agreement.  The case came to trial in
October 1998 and was settled on terms favorable to the Company.    The Company
agreed to give the plaintiff an agreed judgment totaling $400,000, which may not
be executed until after February 15, 1999 with post judgment interest at the
rate of 10% per year.  In addition, the Company agreed that upon the sale of its
guidewire micro-filter patent (the OmniFilter), the plaintiff will be entitled
to payment totaling $200,000.  In the event of a licensing agreement, the
plaintiff will receive 5% of the licensing agreement revenues until a total of
$200,000 has been paid.  The payment of $200,000 is secured by the OmniFilter
patent and such security interest will be subordinated to any lender requesting
the OmniFilter patent as collateral.  At the Company's discretion the security
interest in the OmniFilter may be moved to the stent patent with the same
stipulation as to subordination.  The judgment was paid and a release filed in
April 1999.  The plaintiff has now filed suit claiming that the Company
anticipatorily breached the agreement to pay licensing revenues.  The Company
has filed a response denying the claim.  Royalty expense in the amount of
$50,000 has been accrued as of June 30, 1999.

     In August 1997, a former Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer
and director of the Company filed a lawsuit in the State District Court of
Harris County, Texas alleging breach of contract with respect to a letter
agreement executed in connection with his employment separation and resignation
from the Board of the Company and sought specific performance and monetary
damages of approximately $307,000. On August 24, 1998 the parties reached a
settlement through mediation. The Company paid $2,800 in cash, issued at no cost
to the plaintiff stock options to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock at an
exercise price of $0.6875 with a guaranteed value of $100,000 and executed an
agreed judgment in the amount of $85,000 at 10% interest payable November 1,
1999. The judgment was amended to include the guaranteed value shortage in the
amount of $70,173.

     In January 1999, a former distributor filed a lawsuit in the State District
Court of Georgia alleging breach of contract and is seeking $34,000 plus pre-
judgment interest.  In the opinion of management, the ultimate outcome of this
matter will not materially affect the Company's financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.

     The Company is occasionally a party to litigation (other than that
specifically noted) arising in the ordinary course of business. Management
regularly analyzes current information and, as necessary, provides accrual for
probable liabilities for the eventual disposition of the matter. In the opinion
of management, the ultimate outcome of these matters will not materially affect
the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
